Blurb:
In her previous life, Xu Ling died with regrets.
She and the villain perished together, and she never confessed her feelings to her junior fellow disciple before she died.
Reborn, she sees life as a dream and resolves to let loose, focusing all her efforts on winning over her junior fellow disciple.
Her junior fellow disciple is an outstanding member of the immortal sect, admired by everyone.
But he is cold on the outside and even colder within, like a drift of snow on a frozen mountain. He gives his undivided attention to cultivation and keeps love at arm's length.
Xu Ling: Perfect. I love bringing aloof beauties down from their pedestals.
She shamelessly takes advantage of her senior-disciple status to make her "improper" advances.
For example
She makes an excuse to invite her junior fellow disciple on a night hunt in the back mountains, then spends the whole night alone with him.
When her heart begins to flutter, she boldly sneaks a touch of his cheek.
She even pretends to be drunk and refuses to get up from his arms.
In short, she does everything she wanted to do in her previous life but never dared to.
At first, her junior fellow disciple refuses: "Senior Sister Xu, please have some self-respect."
Later, unable to resist her passionate pursuit, he gives in.
When they become cultivation partners and their love is at its most intense,
Xu Ling tells him the secret of her rebirth, only to find that he has a secret of his own. As he speaks, her memories flicker, and she realizes he looks exactly like the demonic villain from her memories.
That's right.
All along, she'd been confessing to the sworn enemy she had hated in her previous life.
Sorry to bother you. I'm leaving.
Xu Ling's heart stirs again, and she sets out to search everywhere for her real junior fellow disciple, only to be blocked along the way, unable to take another step.
"Junior Fellow Disciple" suppresses the blood rising in his throat and tosses their cultivation partnership contract in front of her, his eyes desolate.
"Xu Ling, you're even deceiving yourself."
"Do you dare admit who you love?"
"Across two lifetimes, all I want is one answer."
