After Cutting Ties with the Immortal Lord

After dying once, Chao Li learned that the immortal lord who had shared three years of loving devotion with him had only done so to bring down the Immortal Capital. Their much-praised romance had all been an act.

The day the Immortal Capital burned, he asked through bloodied tears, "I was the one who brought you out of that mountain of corpses. I was the one who set your bones and forged your immortal roots."

"Xi Jinglan, why?"

Clad in armor, Xi Jinglan still held the sword Chao Li had once found for him, its blade dripping with blood. As always, he reached out. "Chao Li, come here."

In the days that followed, Xi Jinglan offered no explanation. Instead, he imprisoned Chao Li in the palace and made him his unwilling bed partner.

Everyone said Immortal Lord Jinglan had put aside the past and spared the descendant of the man who had once brought ruin upon his clan.

Then, one lonely night, the former young lord of the Immortal Capital reversed time, at the cost of being barred from reincarnation. By chance, he returned to the day he first met Xi Jinglan.

Rain poured down. The mass grave was filled with ghostly shadows, and a blood-soaked boy stumbled up to his carriage before collapsing in the rain.

The splendid carriage did not stop. And so began the story of how Chao Li would never love Xi Jinglan again.

Reading guide: 1. A bottom who has renounced love and only wants to reach the top × a top who's gone mad inside for love.

2. The top's long road to winning him back. Angst and melodramatic heartbreak, but no switching tops.

3. May everything go well for you all, and may you make a fortune!
