After the Sword Spirit Was Reborn, They Ran Off with Their Mortal Enemy

"Now complete, ready to binge"

Bai Zhuozhuo is the spirit of an ancient spiritual sword.

But she never does the things a sword spirit is supposed to do. She was even swallowed by some demon beast, then pulled out through a certain unspeakable place.

Later, because she wasn't "obedient," her unscrupulous sword master threw her into the inferno, destroying both sword and spirit.

Reborn once more, she stares at her former sword master, who knows nothing of what happened, and grins as she grits her teeth.

A few days later, the sect's Heavenly Secrets Office, where disciples go to ask questions about the Dao, receives a strange letter.

The writer says his sword spirit seems to have been possessed. Disappearing and refusing to work are par for the course. Then she even ran around the courtyard wearing his undergarments, indirectly caused him to lose a certain manly function, and, when both he and his nemesis were injured, promptly chose to take care of the nemesis.

The Heavenly Secrets Office is abuzz with gossip over such "strange happenings." In their reply, they ask: What does your nemesis look like?

The reply contains just one short line: Not bad... but cold and aloof, and extremely difficult to get along with.

A senior disciple at the Heavenly Secrets Office suddenly understands and writes back: "It's possible your sword spirit has fallen in love. Here are your options: take a beauty-enhancing pill every day, or... get a different sword."

Bai Zhuozhuo notices that her former sword master, who used to devote himself to cultivating the Dao, has recently been clutching letters and sighing. He's secretly taking beauty-enhancing pills, too, and keeps making snide remarks about her having an improper relationship with his nemesis.

Well, her nemesis is handsome. When he occasionally smiles, it's like the hazy moon rising in the night, so captivating it makes you want to drown in it.

Bai Zhuozhuo suddenly remembers her previous life:

Silver moonlight spills down, frost blankets the barren mountains.

A young man slays demons and breaks through the bitter cold, lifting her battered sword from among the countless ashes.

He is a man as cold and sharp as ice and snow, unbending and rarely moved. Yet this time, the gods take pity. He digs the sword's remains out of the scorched earth, carries the broken blade on his back, and travels across countless mountains and rivers, taking her to the place where she was first forged.

In this life, naturally, she can't bear to leave him alone and forlorn.

*

He was born someone people could not accept. His life ahead held nothing but endless loneliness, and the only tenderness he'd ever known came from a young girl's brief moment of mischief.

Weng Yuchen cut off his delusions.

But this time...

Light ripples over her. The girl he once thought had nothing more to do with him bends down to look at him. "Don't raise a sword. Raise me instead. Because... a sword can't love you."

"But I can."

2. The second male lead gets his comeuppance; the supporting cast is a messy, melodramatic mix.

3. The story comes with twists and secret identities. It's self-indulgent and refreshing, with plenty of sweetness, and every plot point serves the romance.
