Blurb below [Immovable, dignified grandmaster x sickly, short-lived ghost-seeing artist] [Royal uncle celestial master x crybaby illustrator] Ning Chenyuan realized he was having that same dream again. There was always a girl in it, but no matter how hard he tried, he could never make out her face. Ning Chenyuan had lived for over a thousand years, and still couldn't figure out whether he was human or a demon. For a thousand years, he had captured countless demons and sealed them in the Xuantian Well. One day, he too would be suppressed beneath it. As a solar eclipse approached and his powers waned, just before leaving the realm, he unexpectedly met a woman with an extraordinary fate, her three souls and six spirits all in perfect balance. Could a grandmaster of mysticism really not save a little girl? Ning Chenyuan smiled confidently, never expecting to almost be devoured by the demons he'd drawn in. A malevolent demon lord had been plotting a huge scheme. And the little girl was a key piece on this vicious chessboard! - Yao Wenqing had been born with a fate that brought misfortune to her family, a short life, and a weak spirit. She was terrified of ghosts, as she had good reason to be. Just making it to the present day had been no easy feat. After nearly being dragged off by an evil ghost to be eaten, she met a celestial master as ethereal as an immortal. This man was the real deal: demons and spirits of all kinds knelt the moment they saw him, and even eminent monks would stand on their heads and wash their hair before him. A savior! Yao Wenqing clung tightly to the mighty man's coattails, refusing to let go. What could be more important than staying alive? After spending time together, she felt a tiny spark of affection, but didn't dare act on it. After all, she could never measure up to someone so noble and above reproach. When wave after wave of ghosts tried to devour her soul, this mighty man not only risked his life to save her, he was even willing to abandon the whole world and put her life first! Yao Wenqing had so much she wanted to say, but it caught in her throat. She just wanted to tug at his sleeve and ask timidly, “If we set aside your compassion for saving the suffering and delivering all living beings, do you maybe like me just a tiny bit too?” Yao Wenqing, when will you return? A thousand years of wind and rain, waiting for good news. This book is also known as The Tragic, Powerful Grandmaster Is About to Defy Heaven with His Magic.
