After I Abandoned the Brooding, Possessive Boy

After a voice suddenly rang out in Cen Xueyin's mind, she discovered that she could foresee the future.

The two Shangqing Sect disciples standing before her, Wei Lingzan and Zhou Xuanqing, would both fall into demonic cultivation, throw the world into chaos, and ultimately be slain by the exceptional immortal cultivator Xie Xingzhuo.

Cen Xueyin decided to eliminate these two future demon overlords ahead of time.

.

Wei Lingzan was a poor soul struggling to get by, unable to support herself, let alone anyone else.

She had just seen off her little husband when Zhou Xuanqing descended from the sky, intending to take her back to the sect and bring her under his master's tutelage...

Later, she came back from the dead and heard that Cen Xueyin and Zhou Xuanqing were about to become betrothed.

It took her a long time to learn that she had been buried alive simply because of the "prophecy of the two demons," which only Cen Xueyin could hear...

.

Wei Lingzan had done nothing to anyone, yet while she was lying dead as could be, an upright young hero suddenly dragged her off for an exorcism and suppression.

Wei Lingzan: ...

Young hero: I am Xie Xingzhuo. I'm sorry. I mistook you for a demonic cultivator and dealt with you accordingly.

Wei Lingzan: ...

Out of guilt, Xie Xingzhuo took her back to the sect for treatment. Unfortunately, he had a fellow disciple with whom he shared a deep feud.

This junior fellow disciple seemed cheerful and carefree, but was actually devious and treacherous. Because he had a grudge against Xie Xingzhuo, he disliked her as well.

Wei Lingzan: I haven't even offended you. What kind of skill is taking your anger out on me?

But later, in the soft night rain, with an orchid boat drifting on the water, the young man's eyes were clear and bright as he gazed quietly at her.

For some reason, he suddenly leaned closer.

A gentle breeze happened to stir her hair ribbon, brushing lightly across the corner of his lips.

He said that she had once abandoned him.

Reader's Guide:

1. My own take on cultivation, with lots of original worldbuilding. Slow burn, not a power fantasy, and rich in detail. Please don't read if that's not for you.

2. Older woman-younger man romance, five-year age gap. The male lead is the little husband the female lead saw off, and also Xie Xingzhuo's junior fellow disciple from the blurb.

3. The supporting female character's perspective in the blurb doesn't tell the whole story.
