Ge Yao was the Dao companion of the immortal lord Qin Huan.
She had stayed by Qin Huan's side as he climbed out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and helped him evade schemes and conspiracies. She had seen the squalor and misery behind his bright, noble facade.
The day they took up residence on the immortal mountain, Ge Yao naively thought the two of them had finally found their happy ending.
It was only when the army retreated from the battlefield, leaving her alone behind as a hostage, that she realized:
The husband who had refused to let go of her hand even amid the piles of bones had long since become a different man.
On that immortal mountain, where luxury and splendor flourished, a former sword-servant who had once been his wife could only be a shameful reminder of Qin Huan's wretched past, a bloodstained clod of mud everyone wanted to avoid.
Ge Yao did not believe in karma or just deserts.
In this life, she would take up her sword and sever this ill-fated bond with her own hands.
And that single strike would turn the lofty immortal lord back into the destitute young man she had once loved.
#When my scumbag ex-husband's memories return to the year he loved me most,
this time, even if he suffers severed meridians and shattered bones, he still won't win back the glance I once gave him.
#The ex-husband can't escape the fire-and-brimstone gauntlet, and the second male lead gets the girl.
Preorders open in September, with the story starting in mid-December.
