My Former Client Comes Knocking

Gentle, dedicated female employee x younger, pure-hearted, pitiful young man

Viewpoint One:

When Jiang Chenliu was fourteen, he met someone who said she was a "remnant soul."

Born with a blood-demon fate, he suffered endless abuse in his sect. Later, his Undying bloodline made countless people call for his death.

Only that remnant soul was always secretly kind to him, doing so very much for his sake.

She used her qi to heal his injuries, helped him face off against ten thousand enemies, and nearly dissipated her remnant soul for him...

Back then, he was too weak to dare disturb her, and felt he was unworthy of her. So he kept his feelings buried and worked hard to grow stronger.

His only wish was to cultivate diligently, so that one day he could help her forge a body and let her return to the mortal world.

Who could have known that just as he attained the Great Dao, the moon in his heart would suddenly vanish, her soul scattered beyond recovery?

Overnight, Jiang Chenliu fell from immortality and went mad.

To bring her back to life, he imprisoned the Heavenly Dao, reversed the origin of the heavens, and committed an unforgivable crime against the world.

With one palm strike, he shattered the Heaven-Peering Stone, throwing time and space into disarray and merging three thousand cultivation realms.

At last, after exhausting every means, he saw her again.

But there she was, treating another man with the same tender care and heartfelt sincerity she had once shown him.

The blade in his hand rang and trembled in protest. He nearly crushed it to dust in his grip.

Viewpoint Two:

Wen Yao is a hunter for the Space-Time Administration. She is tasked with capturing illegal crossers and helping protagonists whose fates have been stolen reclaim their former glory.

She was doing just fine in The Martial Alliance Leader, until one day, strange things started happening.

The male lead's life was in danger, so she went to Wuwang Mountain to gather medicinal herbs. On the way, an unknown faction got in her way.

The male lead needed a weapon that suited him, so she went to find materials. On the way, an unknown faction got in her way.

The male lead needed to build his own organization, so she went to recruit talented people. On the way, an unknown faction got in her way...

Wen Yao: ? The book never mentioned this villainous faction!

The male lead came face to face with a villain and was no match for him, even fighting for his life. Wen Yao risked her own life to rush over and take the blade for him.

But the villain holding the blade ignored the backlash and abruptly drew it back. His eyes turned bloodshot with rage, and he cried, "You care about him that much? You'll risk your life to protect him?"

Wen Yao: ?

Why is Jiang Chenliu, the male lead from the previous world, My Fate in My Hands, here?

P.S.

1. Shuangjie, one-on-one, happy ending, younger male lead who grows over time.

2. This is not a professionally designed cultivation system. Immortal cultivators, demon cultivators, martial cultivators, and everything else are thrown into one pot.

3. Not a strong female lead story, nor a plot-driven story. The logic is a mess, and most of the plot exists to serve the romance.

4. If anything else is a dealbreaker, lovely readers can decide for themselves after reading the first chapter.

The male lead is a martial cultivator. His levels are: Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Division, Separation, Great Ascension, Void Breaking, Ascension.

The immortal and demonic cultivation paths share the same system: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Division, Integration, Great Ascension, Tribulation Transcendence, Ascension.

Coming soon: Awaiting Daybreak in the Imperial Prison. Blurb:

Xun Li was the fifth son of the late emperor. At twelve, he was sent to the Imperial Prison, where he spent seven whole years.

The late emperor had ordered: "Of the eighteen kinds of torture, not one may kill him. Keep him hanging by a thread and make him wish he were dead!"

After surviving seven years of torture, every trace of kindness had been ground out of him.

He killed tigers with his bare hands and stole food through underhanded means. Even the guards on duty had to be on their guard against his revenge. There was nothing left in this world he wouldn't dare do.

After all, he thought, no matter what, he couldn't die.

In the seventh year, a new guard arrived at the prison.

This short guard carefully read through every inmate's file and took extra care of those who had suffered injustice.

Xun Li was clearly not one of the people he looked after. Still, he had received gruel from him, though only after threatening and intimidating him into it.

This man was an insignificant ant he looked down on, one he could crush with ease.

But one day, Xun Li seemed to discover "his" secret.

The moment she became a prisoner and was locked away in the prison, Xun Li, as if he couldn't help himself, shielded the "insignificant ant" he'd once looked down on, protecting him from abuse and hunger.

"Wei Ming will come save me."

Xun Li's eyes, dark as black onyx, glanced at her indifferently. He scoffed, "Well, congratulations."

Was that jealousy? Envy? His heart burned: Was that man really so worthy of her trust?

Later, the person she was waiting for never came. Instead, the madam of Drunken Spring House arrived and bought her freedom for a few taels of silver.

He should have laughed at her foolishness, but in that moment, he couldn't laugh.

Helpless and desperate, she hid behind him and begged him to save her.

That night, he went on a rampage through the Imperial Prison like a madman. He fell to the ground, covered in blood, and in the end, he couldn't even catch the hem of her clothes.

He had never hoped for daybreak in the dark.

After she left, he dragged his broken body along, inexplicably finding himself with a new hope:

He hoped that tomorrow, tomorrow, he would be able to leave the Imperial Prison.

He hoped that tomorrow, tomorrow, he would be able to save her from her misery.

He wanted so badly to see her again, just once...
