Bright Moon Knows My Heart (Reborn)

This blurb was first posted on September 24 and has been archived. Meng Po held her ladle like a sword, pretending to stab herself. "Don't come any closer!" Lu Zhaozhao had drunk Meng Po's Soup for a hundred years, yet still couldn't forget her past and be reincarnated. She helplessly cursed at the sky, "Which bastard still won't leave me alone after a hundred years?" As soon as the words left her mouth, the Underworld shook, and ghosts wailed. Looking utterly bewildered, she was dragged before the Soul-Calming Pool by Ox-Head and Horse-Face. The King of Hell was beside himself with grief. "Look at what you've done!" In the pool, layer upon layer of chains wrapped around a slender woman. Her hair was black as ink, her eyes dark as lacquer, and her aura murderous. Lu Zhaozhao studied her for a long while, then hesitantly said two words: "Junior sister?" The King of Hell stamped his feet. "She killed over a million people for you, and has now fallen into demonic corruption. If her soul can't be saved, the Underworld will collapse, and the world will never know peace again!" Even after the unreasonable King of Hell sent her back to the day she first met Leng Yue, Lu Zhaozhao could think of only four words: How could that be? Leng Yue really was her junior sister, but in life they had barely been acquaintances. Besides, the other woman was famously cold and reticent, with peerless talent. Everyone in the Qiongshan Sect said she was the only one in the sect's five hundred years of history with a chance of attaining immortality. How could someone like that slaughter a million people for her and become a demon? Looking at the child curled up in her arms, sleeping soundly, she couldn't connect her with the woman who had looked like a vicious ghost in the Soul-Calming Pool. Since she was here, she could only take things one step at a time. Lu Zhaozhao sighed and silently tightened the cloak draped around the girl, shielding her from the biting wind. In this life, she would protect her, cherish her... fall in love with her, and live on. A carefree, scatterbrained top x a cold beauty who loves with single-minded devotion bottom. An older, rough-around-the-edges woman's daily life raising a child, and the moment her maternal love turns into something else. A few things to know before reading: 1. In her previous life, the senior sister was very playful, in every sense of the word. In this life, she's focused on raising a child, so don't ask whether they're chaste. If that matters to you, please don't read. 2. My take on xianxia, with both sweet and angsty moments, and a happy ending. Theme: To the love that never came to fruition, and the reunion that was always meant to be.
