After the Soul Debater Accidentally Reeled In Her Amnesiac Ex-Husband

[Upcoming: After My Nemesis and I Swapped System Quests] An aloof, tsundere general with a wolfish streak vs. a shrewd, optimistic lucky koi and sunny flower. Come see our heroine who got the wrong script! Blurb below~

In the ancient Northern Realm, a twin-soul flower greeted the frost and transformed into a young woman dressed in red.

She met a boy wearing a pale blue-green mask. When he removed it, their eyes met.

The eyes hidden beneath the mask brimmed with danger and secrets, yet her light brown, peach-blossom eyes stole a piece of his heart. As he stood there in a daze, he heard her voice, clear as a spring, and saw her smiling eyes:

"It's cold here. I'll take you away!"

Three years later, the boy stormed into the Netherworld with a greatsword in hand, stepping over countless corpses to reclaim the throne of Netherworld Sovereign. The newly installed Sovereign removed his mask, his sharp eyes shedding their guardedness as he spoke tenderly:

"Ling Miao, marry me."

Betrothal gifts piled like mountains, and red silk filled the sky. The Netherworld celebrated two great events:

First, the former Netherworld Sovereign's son had wiped out the rebels and reclaimed his throne.

Second, the new Sovereign had won his beloved, and was to be married.

Sadly, after the wedding, the new Netherworld Queen passed away.

"I bet the Sovereign got bored of her, and the Queen killed herself because she couldn't take it!"

"Bullshit! It was people from the Immortal Realm meddling. They couldn't stand the Netherworld growing stronger, so they used the Queen as leverage to force the Sovereign to give up his power..."

The Three Realms were rife with speculation, but no one knew the truth.

All they knew was that before long, a towering tree that blotted out the sky grew in the Netherworld, and the peerless Sovereign, famed for his valor and ruthlessness, died of grief beside it.

Millions of years later. Netherworld spirit adjudicators understand the arts of life and death. Their immortal arts are profound; they neither die nor reincarnate.

Ling Miao still wore red. Her light brown eyes were hazy, with no knowledge of the past and no future in sight. As a spirit adjudicator, she oversaw the souls' "trials" and their reincarnation.

While traveling in the human realm, she happened to meet an immortal lord in blue.

Their eyes met, and a strange sense of reunion after a lifetime apart welled up between them.

"Little immortal lord, have we met somewhere before?" She didn't mean anything by it. She just wanted to tease him.

Who could have guessed that he was Xuan Yan, the revered lord of Qingxu Hall, spoken of in rumors? His cool, detached eyes practically spelled out "Keep your distance." He stepped back and said coldly:

"Lord Spirit Adjudicator, please mind your conduct."

Until one day, she saw that very cool, desireless face of Xuan Yan in her ancient mirror, which could glimpse the past!

In the mirror, Xuan Yan, dressed in wedding clothes, lifted the bride's veil, pulled off his hair ribbon, and leaned toward her... And the bride was her?! Could Lord Xuan Yan be... her ex-husband?!

The story of how I was forced to lose my memories and became a powerful Netherworld sovereign, then reunited with my equally amnesiac ex-husband

"Little immortal lord, let's get married!"

"Wife, we've already been married." Xuan Yan's lips curled into a smile. His rough hand caressed the soft skin of Ling Miao's neck. Just as the ancient mirror had shown, he bent close to her ear and murmured in a husky voice,

"But you still owe me a wedding night."

One day, twenty-five years ago, frost flowers fell from the sky. The Nine Heavens, home to thousands upon thousands of stars, the human realm, where tens of thousands bowed in worship, and the distant Netherworld were all blanketed in white.

One crystalline frost flower after another descended, hanging in midair, neither melting nor vanishing.

Twenty-five years later, in the human realm.

The immortal lord in blue held a spirit leaf fan and gazed upon the Immortal, Human, and Netherworld Realms, then let out a heavy sigh.

We'll meet again someday. When we do, please...

Remember me.

Reading guide:

1. Both leads are each other's only partner.

2. A joyous happy ending for both leads.

3. Both leads lose their memories and reunite after a breakup.

Upcoming: After My Nemesis and I Swapped System Quests. Blurb↓

As Shen Qingran lay dying, she was given a chance to live again, but was forced to accept a ridiculous System. In a country where the practice of magic was widespread, she had to complete the System's assigned quests to stay alive.

The first quest Shen Qingran received was

[Ding! New quest! Host, meet your nemesis as soon as possible. Complete it for a reward~]

A nemesis? By a lucky accident, she finally met General Xiao of the Jinyue Kingdom, Xiao Quechen, at the grand sacrificial ceremony. After completing the quest, she was rewarded by being named the auspicious star of the nation's fortune at the ceremony.

Time to lie flat and do nothing? Nope! Here's your next quest

[Protect your target from harm as much as possible.]

Shen Qingran looked at the tall, muscular General Xiao, covered in armor and decorated with countless military achievements. She fell into deep thought. Even after slapping herself several times, she couldn't figure it out

Who would be stupid enough to try to hurt him?!

[Host, please...]

"Uh..." Shen Qingran gazed at the wind and wept. "I can save people, I can protect them, but can you make Xiao Quechen and his men stop hunting me down..."

She went out of her way to save him, but instead of receiving his heartfelt thanks, she got a knife pointed at her?!

[The Host may abandon any quest, as long as your life points are sufficient to keep you alive for the rest of your life.]

"How many life points do I have now?"

[Ten.]

"No time for small talk. Send me the location. Saving people comes first!" (A righteous but weary face.)

Just as she'd finally collected a hundred life points and was ready to lie flat, someone suddenly grabbed her and wouldn't let her leave, no matter what.

Xiao Quechen smiled helplessly. "You saved me, and you gave me my life. So why don't you want me now?"

Shen Qingran silently pushed away his strong, powerful hand. "I'm just playing a part. Surely you don't... take it seriously, General Xiao?"

"I do. And I mean it. You're responsible for me."

Male lead's perspective

At the grand sacrificial ceremony, Xiao Quechen, gravely poisoned, was saved by the System, but he had to complete its assigned quests or lose his life.

At first, the quests were simple. Later, they demanded that he use underhanded means to hurt others, including a defenseless young woman. His response was:

"That's despicable. If that's what it takes, I'd rather die than live dishonorably."

Jun Hechuan never went back on his word.

But with his life in danger, and an enemy nation invading, the country could not be without a general. Forced into it, he finally struck at the girl who was always smiling at him with her eyes curved up.

Background:

The Qiming Star, which had always protected the Jinyue Kingdom, was split in two by an enemy nation. It descended upon Jinyue and transformed into two opposing nemesis Systems.

They were installed in Shen Qingran and Xiao Quechen, respectively.

But who could have guessed that fate would play such a cruel joke and switch the Systems around?! O_o

Theme: Life and death, and reincarnation, are unpredictable. Cherish and protect life.
