The Untold Story: Three Lifetimes of Love and Tribulation

No plagiarism, copying, or unauthorized reposting! Do not associate this with real people. Everything is fictional! Wangxian is not a pairing in this story, so please don't read if you dislike that. This story is mainly set in the world of The Untamed, with original elements. Xie Yun from Legend of Fei will be taken out of that story and made an independent male lead. The story begins 16 years after The Untamed. The premise is that Jiang Yanli survived, the Wen clan members are still at the Burial Mounds, and Jiang Cheng has a wife and son. Sixteen years later, when the Yiling Patriarch Wei Wuxian's adopted daughter is invited to study in Gusu, she meets a strange man. He calls himself Xie Yun, courtesy name Meimei, and styles himself the Easygoing Scholar. She only meant to help him out and bring him into the Cloud Recesses. But... things don't seem so simple. Why does Xie Yun always wear a mask? Why does Xie Yun seem to harbor an inexplicable hostility toward the Lan clan? Why does the wound beside the butterfly bone on Xie Yun's back never seem to heal? Following the clues, it turns out everything began with the calamity from 16 years ago. A romantic entanglement was merely a tribulation in her mortal life. Once it was over, it was over. If they keep getting tangled up in it, then it won't just be a matter between the two of them anymore. Entanglements across three lifetimes: "Hey, have you heard? Something big happened in Gusu recently!" "Hey, isn't it just that Hanguang-Jun of the Gusu Lan clan has married another bride?" "Ah, when you put it that way, the first wife really was pitiful. She was born into a humble family and had little fortune, and not only did she die young, but the young master disappeared too." "These great cultivation clans look so impressive on the surface. Who knows what goes on inside?" "But I heard the new bride looks exactly like the first wife." "You clearly don't know the whole story. The new bride is the current Heavenly Emperor's own younger sister, a princess!" "What?!" Theme: What is meant for you cannot be avoided, and what isn't meant for you cannot be forced
