Gold and Jade

An Wuxue died on the day the world finally knew peace. Chosen by Heaven, with an immortal’s body and peerless cultivation, he and his fellow disciple Xie Zhefeng governed the two realms and the four seas, devoting their lives to the world. But on the day Xie Zhefeng ascended to immortality, An Wuxue was besieged by every sect, abandoned by all. Immortal Venerable Xie drew his life-bound sword. Its frigid aura swept across the land, annihilating demons and monsters. The first thing it struck was An Wuxue’s life. Then he was reborn. Good thing. He was reborn as a good-for-nothing. No problem. This good-for-nothing was being offered to a great sect as a cultivation furnace. A small matter. The recipient was Immortal Venerable Xie Zhefeng, the very junior brother who had put righteousness above family and cut him down. An Wuxue: … This was very bad. *The full novel has been carefully revised and differs from pirated versions. The latest version on Jinjiang is the only authoritative edition. *The story includes a hellish reckoning for the entire cast and the redemption of a dark moonlight. It is not a substitute romance, nor is it solely focused on the relationship between the main couple; the xianxia plot has substantial weight. *Different people like different things.

I transmigrated into a supporting character from a modern urban fantasy novel, one born into a family of occultists. According to the plot, I’d be defeated by the protagonist and torn apart by evil spirits. Then I’d be reborn at the very beginning of the story, turn over a new leaf, and help the protagonist, earning myself a happy ending. I was even lucky enough to transmigrate before the rebirth storyline began. With the advantage of knowing the book, I could avoid being reborn altogether and simply be a good supporting character who helped the protagonist. I could have lived freely and happily, without a care in the world. But I let myself get carried away. I fell for the protagonist. If I wanted him, I had to have him. He was a celestial master of the occult, and in the art of exorcism, anyone who reached the highest levels of cultivation could make a contract with a Lamplighter. The Lamplighter’s soul was connected to the celestial master’s. When the master hunted ghosts and exorcised evil, the Lamplighter would light a soul-lamp to protect the master’s spirit. Celestial masters and Lamplighters were connected in heart and mind, and often became lovers. I lacked the ability, but I used my family’s influence to force him into a contract. Our souls were bound together, and I became his only Lamplighter. I took what I wanted by force. I imposed myself on him. I was despicable and selfish. So when I exhausted myself lighting his lamp, my soul torn apart in unbearable agony, he only looked at me coldly and scolded me for overestimating myself. I understood. I had it coming. I knew I was wrong. Fortunately, I still had one chance to be reborn. Following the plot, I let go of his hand in front of him and plunged without hesitation into the abyss, thick with evil energy. I set him free. I did what he wanted. I died horribly. All I had time to see were his bloodshot eyes. He must have been crying from happiness. - Sure enough, I was reborn. This time, he could be the proud, gifted darling of Heaven, and I could be an ordinary supporting character who kept to myself. Everything would return to its proper course, and we would both be happy. I thought we’d have nothing to do with each other again. But he kept pestering me, always acting as though he was afraid I’d take my own life. I didn’t understand what was wrong with him, and I couldn’t be bothered to find out. I thought that this time we’d surely go our separate ways. Until, by accident, I lit a lamp to protect his soul. Only a Lamplighter who had made a soul contract with a celestial master could do that. I was so scared I nearly lost my soul. How could this happen? This time, I clearly hadn’t made a lamp contract with him. *Both are reborn; 1v1; happy ending. *The little scenes and interactions in the blurb are there to showcase the premise and may not appear in the novel itself. *The blurb may be adjusted before the novel begins. Theme: Stay true to your heart, and you will find your way to the end.
