The Palace Master Was Reborn After Death

Ji Yuxi, Palace Master of the Celestial Star Palace, died, leaving behind half a lifetime of legends and a pear-blossom grove forever frozen, where someone waits for the one who will never return.

After her death, Ji Yuxi transmigrated into the body of a beautiful baby named Yu Xi in the modern world. Desperate to return to her original world, Ji Yuxi devoted herself to research and tried everything she could. At last, after growing up, she successfully crossed back.

But now there are two rather serious problems.

The first problem: caught in the turbulence of time, Yu Xi bumped her head and temporarily forgot some important things, such as everything about this world, that she had once been from this world, and why she had transmigrated.

The second problem: this beautiful, elegant new body happens to look just a tiny bit like the leader of the Sha Luo Cult, who has recently been at the center of a storm of bloodshed.

Either problem alone would have left things merely on the verge of getting out of control. With both happening at once, things took flight from that edge.

But compared with the more serious problem right before her eyes, all of that could wait: when Yu Xi landed, she accidentally smashed someone else's coffin.

A silver-haired beauty clutching a sword tumbled out of the coffin and opened his eyes. The moment he saw her face, murderous intent filled his gaze. He was truly beautiful, and the killing aura from his sword was truly chilling.

"Who are you?" His tone was flat, but Yu Xi could hear the deep hatred in it. It wasn't because she had smashed his coffin, but because of her face.

Yu Xi racked her brains. "I... I came here by accident..." Who would believe her if she said she had crossed through time from another world?

"By accident?" The silver-haired man gave a derisive laugh. His tone barely changed, but his previously cool expression was now filled with scorn. "And this face of yours, which looks seven parts like Mo Shaluo, is an accident too?!"

...Although she didn't know who Mo Shaluo was, it was obvious that he and the silver-haired man were enemies. Just being connected to him could get her killed in an instant.

Yu Xi thought she could still salvage the situation. "It really was an accident. I have nothing to do with this Mo Shaluo. I don't even know what kind of thing he is. I'm Yu..."

At that moment, firelight and the crash of explosions rose from the village below the mountain, interrupting their first meeting. Or rather, their reunion after a long separation.

Yu Xi didn't yet know that the person before her was the reason she had crossed through time at any cost.

Xie Shaoling didn't yet know that beneath the face resembling his enemy's by seven parts was the soul of the beloved he missed with all his heart.

If I can have just one wish, I hope to return to your side.

The pairing is Xie Shaoling and Ji Yuxi (Yu Xi). Happy ending. No other spoilers.

The setting is high-martial, low-magic: there are no gods, demons, or cultivation, only people, but their techniques and arts are flamboyant and unrealistic.

Theme: Never give up in adversity.
