Jade Falling in the Endless Night

[Complete]

Shi Luoyi and her junior sister, the lucky koi girl, were rivals.

She couldn't accept that she had spent her whole life competing with her and losing. Childhood sweethearts could never beat the girl who appeared out of nowhere, and in the end, even her childhood sweetheart and fiancé fell hopelessly in love with her junior sister.

She lay dying in a ruined temple, with no one to bury her bones.

It was infuriating!

Then she suddenly remembered that, a long time ago, she had won once: she had done the unspeakable with the mortal elder brother her junior sister cherished as much as her own eyes!

That day, her junior sister had been shattered with grief, her eyes nearly bursting with rage. Shi Luoyi, meanwhile, had felt refreshed and triumphant.

The young man coldly closed his eyes and told them both to get lost.

Bian Lingyu had loved someone for years.

At the moment he was closest to her, he learned that she had only used him as a tool to provoke his sister and the person he loved.

The girl forgot him for sixty years.

He stayed at her immortal mountain, keeping watch until he grew old and frail.

Beneath lotus leaves stretching to the sky and a magnificent canopy of stars, he gathered her remains in a ruined temple and took her home.

Even though she had never once looked him in the eye in her entire life.

After dreaming through an entire lifetime, Shi Luoyi lived again, returning to the very beginning of the story.

At the time, she knew nothing of what had come before or what was yet to come.

But behind a door, for some reason, she felt sorry for the mortal boy.

Confused and guilty, she wanted to run away, but in the end, she still went to Bian Lingyu.

Bian Lingyu was used to it and assumed she had come to humiliate him again.

He had long since given up hoping for anything from her.

But this time, as he gazed at her with eyes as cold and still as snow, the girl took his hand. Then they walked together through a lifetime of hardship.

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine goes from universally disliked to universally adored. She's exceptionally, exceptionally beautiful, so before you dive in, you should be able to handle this kind of Mary Sue description.

2. The main theme is healing. Her fiancé will regret his choices in the end.

3. This is a redemption story I wrote while trying to find my footing. It's mostly sweet with a little angst (probably). None of the characters are perfect, and the writing style isn't classical, just very straightforward. Please bear with me.

4. The hero falls in love with the heroine at first sight, but he's a loyal puppy with a temper.

5. The inspiration comes from The Golden Branch. Yuying, Erchun, and Sun Baiyang form a one-sided love triangle; the characterizations and plot are unrelated. The setting follows the background of my earlier xianxia works, with a standard cultivation storyline.

6. I love every major character, from the leads to the secondary leads, as well as some of the minor cannon fodder characters. This story includes secret identities and twists.

7. Please don't mention this story under other authors' works, and don't ask for recommendations or bring up other stories under this one. Writing isn't easy for any author, so please don't put works down by comparison.

There are countless great stories on Jinjiang. If this one isn't for you, close it and try another. If you see something you don't like, just click away. Please respect the author's original creative vision and don't ask them to change the setting or plot at will. Let's respect one another, and may your days be lovely and happy!
