A Guide to Reforming Your Archrival

I'll be away on a business trip for over a week, so I'll update whenever I can QAQ Meng Turan is exceptionally clever and peerless with a sword. The only person who can fight her to a standstill is Yan Lingyi. At first, whenever Yan Lingyi saw Meng Turan, she turned and walked away. Later, she would grab her sword and seek her out for a duel. The martial world said Yan Lingyi regarded her as a sworn enemy, and that they would fight to the death. Yan Lingyi always thought she hated Meng Turan. When they were young, she devoted every ounce of her energy to defeating her. Until one disaster after another struck. The dagger lodged in Meng Turan's chest seemed to pierce Yan Lingyi's heart, too. So it wasn't hatred after all. Her heart had simply been beating painfully hard, and back then, she hadn't understood why. "I... was in love with her." Yan Lingyi was gravely wounded, her life hanging by a thread. Meng Turan listened as she spoke, guessing she was about to say something like, "You have to live well." Yan Lingyi gripped her sleeve and said viciously, one word at a time, "If I die, you aren't allowed to live much longer." Meng Turan was stunned. All her heartfelt gratitude melted away. #You call this being in love?# #A dying person's last words can be downright awful# The great river rolls on, while old friends remain as they were. (A story about how I love you but won't say it, and can't believe you don't know. I'm furious.) Reader's Guide: 1. Present-day scenes and memories intertwine. An atypical xianxia story with lots of original worldbuilding. 2. The possessive one: "You never loved me at all" x the oblivious one: "What do you mean, why did I fall in love?" 3. My take on cultivation. Simple logic, a lighter read, and plain language. 4. Steadfast and unshaken. Happy ending. Theme: Don't fear failure or hardship. Keep overcoming difficulties, and when they get the better of you once in a while, just take a break.
