After My Ascension Failed

After He Xi failed to ascend for the second time, she sighed at her bad luck and resigned herself to teaching disciples in her sect.

In her spare time, she also searched for her long-lost older brother, who had been prophesied by the Heavenly Dao to save the world.

Her days passed peacefully enough, until a disciple known as the "Unclean Child" intruded on her quiet life.

Xiao Wuj i always had an indifferent expression, but his eyes were as fierce as a wolf cub's. He quietly appeared by He Xi's side and quietly studied in the sect.

She had thought they would keep a comfortable distance from each other, only to discover that he was her long-lost older brother.

He Xi: "Um...?"

Since he was her long-lost brother, she ought to spend more time with him, even if he seemed a little strange.

Xiao Wuj i had killed countless people in his life. When the feathered immortals mocked him for being born the Unclean Child, he wiped out their entire clan.

When the snake demons sneered that he was the disgrace of both the immortal and demon realms, he slaughtered their entire clan.

Anyone across the four seas and eight wildernesses who dared say a word against him would see their entire clan wiped out.

He stepped over mountains of corpses to become the fearsome Demon God of the Three Realms, enjoying every pleasure the world had to offer. Yet in the quiet of night, he would still fall into thought.

When he was young, he studied at Xingwang Sect, where the rules were strict. Because of his background, he was excluded and bullied. One person stood by his side and protected his sensitive heart.

When he was forced to reveal his demonic aura, that person even took the sect's punishment in his place.

Because he was the Unclean Child, he was cast out of the sect and forced to sever ties with her. By the time he finally became powerful enough to be the Demon God, she was gone.

So in this life, I'll be content just to quietly stay by your side.

The male lead is reborn.

A heaven-blessed prodigy VS a resilient striver: "You Who Chase the Stars"

Li Li meets Jing Shengxi again seven years later, backstage at a film festival awards ceremony.

A handsome man stands by the door, radiating an aura that warns everyone to keep their distance. When he sees her, a smile plays at the corner of his mouth.

"Long time no see, Li Li."

Li Li's expression remains calm, though inside, a storm is raging.

On the red carpet, she ignores his gentlemanly offer of a hand and decisively takes the arm of her male costar instead.

She ignores the possessiveness in his gaze and walks with the actor before the flashing cameras, her steps full of grace.

She ignores his desperation and tells the reporters what her ideal type is.

That night, the trending topic "Best Actress Li Li's Ideal Type Is Actually Him?" climbs the trending list. Two minutes later, Jing Shengxi posts an update that knocks it off.

Soon afterward, topics about Li Li and Jing Shengxi dominate the top ten trending searches.

At fourteen, Li Li fell for the star named Jing Shengxi.

At seventeen, Li Li ran after that star, stumbling and covered in bruises, but determined to catch up.

At twenty-two, Li Li fell into an abyss and let herself drift away from that star.

At twenty-three, that star dimmed his radiance and stayed by Li Li's side.

At twenty-seven, Li Li had become a dazzling star in the eyes of others.
