[New book: The Broken-Mirror Reunion Novel's Heroine Doesn't Want a Happy Ending is now available]
[Completed xianxia novels in the same genre: The Celestial General, My Dao Companion Has Someone They Love]
Blurb:
In a substitute romance, the heroine is abused physically and emotionally because she looks like the man's beloved first love. But once the male leads come to their senses, they regret it bitterly and begin a long, arduous journey to win their wives back.
And the first love who caused all this tragedy naturally has to be erased.
Pei Shu was never willing to admit she was that superfluous first love.
But when her master, father, elder brother, friends, and even her lover all accused her of being narrow-minded and ungrateful, she finally understood. From the moment she owed Qi Yue a life debt, all of this had already been destined.
Everyone said, "Pei Shu, you owe Qi Yue your life. As long as you live, you must remember this debt for the rest of your life!"
But they all forgot:
This wasn't a life she wanted.
They also forgot
that she had once saved countless lives herself!
Her master said, "Pei Shu, don't disappoint me!"
Her father said, "Shu'er, Yue'er is your own sister and the person who saved your life. You should be more magnanimous!"
Her elder brother, who shared the same mother, said, "Yue'er's mother is responsible for her own crimes, but that has nothing to do with Yue'er. Shu'er, how can you be so cruel?"
Her friend said, "Pei Shu, how did you change so much? You used to be so kind and generous!"
Even her fiance, who had faced life and death alongside her, said, "Shu'er, Yue'er saved your life. Don't forget what you owe her."
Later, atop a high platform,
the once-renowned Fairy of Myriad Spirits cut out her own spiritual bone and carved out the blood from her heart in front of everyone, beneath their horrified gazes. Having repaid her life debt, she resolutely leaped into the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss.
[For many years afterward, the scene at the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss haunted countless people. The Fairy of Myriad Spirits became a taboo for everyone.
They dared not think of her or speak of her.]
They grieved for her until their hearts broke, nearly went mad for her, and searched heaven and earth just to bring her back to life.
But no one knew that
the year after the Fairy of Myriad Spirits died, an extraordinary, carefree female swordswoman appeared in the mortal world!
Sword in hand, humming a tune, riding a horse, she roamed the world in style.
Content warnings:
1: Male lead Long Lin (Shentu Lin). Enemies to lovers, both are alphas and soulmates.
2: The early part is old-school melodrama, angst first and sweetness later.
3: The heroine is a beacon of righteousness, not a shrew. There are trashy men, but no trashy women.

New book: The Broken-Mirror Reunion Novel's Heroine Doesn't Want a Happy Ending
[No getting back together after the breakup. New male lead!]
On the day Ji Xing and I were to be married, Wen Xi sent a plea for help.
"Niaoniao, Wen Xi is in grave danger."
After a long silence, Ji Xing said, "I have to go save her."
Wen Xi was not Ji Xing's friend, nor a relative, nor his lover. In fact, she was his enemy.
Three years ago, I was badly injured while saving someone and fell into a coma, never to wake up.
Wen Xi was the person I saved.
If that accident hadn't happened, Ji Xing and I would have married long ago.
So Ji Xing hated her intensely.
"Today is our bond ceremony. Every notable person from the seven provinces and twelve prefectures is already here. Ji Xing, have you thought about the consequences if you leave? Let someone else save her." I considered myself a reasonable person.
"Besides, don't you hate her? Why go save her?"
In the end, Ji Xing said, "She saved my life. I owe her one. The Land of Chaos is too dangerous, Niaoniao. I have to go."
"Niaoniao, wait for me to come back."
"Niaoniao, don't misunderstand. You're the only one I love."
Of course I knew Wen Xi posed no threat to me.
Because Ji Xing and I were the hero and heroine of this broken-mirror-reunion novel.
Wen Xi was a trial on our road to love,
a catalyst to strengthen our relationship,
a plot device to move the story forward.
She was merely a supporting character.
But as I watched Ji Xing walk away without looking back, I suddenly didn't want to be the heroine anymore.
I don't want a broken mirror put back together. I want flawless, perfect white jade.

Lin Yi was Ji Xing's master.
Calm and self-controlled, selfless and impartial, he was a noble, immaculate immortal in everyone's eyes.
But no one knew that long ago, he had already set his sights on his disciple's fiancee, always ready to steal her away.
To that end, he put on a mask and plotted at every turn.
He was never a refined gentleman,
he was a vicious, greedy wolf waiting to snatch prey from a tiger's jaws.
Reader Notes
1. The pairing is Lin Yi. There is rivalry between the male leads, and neither lead is perfect.
2. The second male lead's groveling won't win her back.
3. Old-school melodrama warning.
4. Written in third person.
Theme: Cherish life and build a harmonious society
Zhong Wuchou actually ended up so well. . . A bit unexpected
I originally wanted to see revenge and torture, but I didn't see many scenes of torture. However, it can be said that these people all brought their own faults. I hope Qi Xianer's retribution is more severe. The most touching thing is our Shushu and Long Lin. After everything we have experienced, Shushu is still so beautiful, and Long Lin is willing to wash away his original sins for such a Shushu. The little bean sprouts are also very cute, but the writing always feels a little tasteless.
The torture part at the beginning is full of blood. The collective intellectual behavior of scumbag men is not very logical. In fact, there is no need for such an exaggerated transformation. Pei Yue's role is not very complete. Although she is a Mary Sue, she has no effect after the heroine fakes her death. She is a living substitute tool. Master and Wen Renjing fall out too quickly. It's not that bad. After all, Pei Yue is also someone who has been in love for three years. Although it is said that he is in love with Pei Yue. My favorite is the scumbag Mary Sue, dog bites dog. You say that I am inferior in every way, and I say that you have low self-esteem and are empathic, so comfortable. But I almost gave up in the early stage. In fact, I would rather start from Jumping into the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. The Mary Sue in the front is really eye-catching. The supporting character's intelligence-degrading behavior actually lowered the heroine's early IQ. She doesn't know people well, and she only has one sentence when she is wronged. You don't believe me, but it's really not me. Well, I saw a lot of black lines in my head. I was promised to be extremely smart, but I almost gave up. But I liked it very much in the later stage. The heroine is brave and kind. Everyone except Mary Sue's IQ has returned, which is quite normal. Master, Wen Renjing, Master Wuchou has a miserable end. How should I put it, this kind of black and white ending is really not very comfortable. Although I may have made it myself, I still felt that the IQs of the three of them were worrying later on. One by one they shouted to follow me. There is also a fool who consoles himself to become a mortal. There is a feeling that the protagonist has an aura and the supporting male characters are all idiots. Do you dare to have a normal one? Although it wouldn't be a pity for such a supporting character to die, I prefer to watch them not getting what they ask for and feeling guilty for the rest of their lives. Compensating but not forcing forgiveness gives the heroine some meaning in the first half of her life. After all, the first dozen years of living with a bunch of scum did not have a good impact on the heroine's growth.
I have to say that the plot before jumping off the cliff was too strong of a mindless sadistic novel from the past. It made my blood pressure rise, and I almost couldn't help but give up. I didn't expect that the rest of the story would be exciting and touching, and the protagonist was also very cute and not mindless. I finished it in two days, and it was really fun!
Mr. Long, are you not good enough? Kiss me on the mouth! What kind of face are you kissing!
It's over, it's really over... It's like I've seen a world, really. Cry, laugh, cry. In the end, I didn't even laugh anymore. It hurt so much.
Nice! It's true that there are all kinds of things in the world, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. Hug my wife and kiss her wildly.
I really don't understand what Wenren is thinking? What does he like about Qi Yue? It's not just sympathy!
I slowed down the pace of reading after I got sunburned, and finally finished reading, spreading flowers
And Qingyan's ending. Can you give Qingyan a good ending?
