The White Moonlight Who Died Young Is Done With It

After falling into a xianxia novel about a peerless hero, Qing Zhao initially thought she was just an insignificant cannon-fodder character.

But just as she was about to be killed off...

A boy in white, sword in hand, came riding through the snow. Amid a sky of surging blood-red light, he slew the vicious beast and saved her life.

When he lowered his eyes, the boy's clear, cool gaze seemed to hold the winds and snows of a thousand mountains.

She soon learned that the young sword cultivator was named Mu Ziyan, the youngest disciple of the sect leader of Luoxue Cliff Sword Sect, sent down the mountain by his master to slay demons.

The two traveled together, exploring the world side by side.

Amid their grand adventures, a young person's affection grew like bamboo shoots after spring rain, sprouting thick and fast.

That year, when the first snow fell upon the mortal world, they made a promise beneath the Matchmaker Tree, its branches covered in red strings: they would become cultivation partners.

Back then, Qing Zhao thought she was the happiest person in the world. She had sword fights and moonlit romance, and a boy who loved her with all his heart.

But later...

On the day she died, heavy snow fell over the mortal world. A sword intent as cold as frost pierced her heart. Even as she lay dying, she stared wide-eyed at the person before her in disbelief.

How could he...

The one who killed her was the boy she loved most.

Only after she died did Qing Zhao learn that Mu Ziyan was the protagonist of a power-fantasy novel, and she was his early-dead white moonlight.

The white moonlight being killed by the protagonist's sword was simply a necessary step on his path to cultivating the Unfeeling Dao.

By the grace of heaven, she hadn't quite died. Her lonely spirit crawled out of a grave in the wilderness, staggering as she looked around in anguish.

So be it. The past was like drifting clouds and smoke, bygone days like bubbles and shadows.

That day, she forged herself a sword and went down the mountain.

This time, she would travel the world alone.

She could also protect the land on her own.

People heard that Mu Ziyan, the young sword immortal who cultivated the Unfeeling Dao at Luoxue Cliff Sword Sect, had an early-dead white moonlight.

Later, the boy who had once been like a snow lotus atop a high peak had his Dao destroyed and his heart shattered for her. He broke his sword, abandoned the Unfeeling Dao, and placed the blade in her hands, begging her to kill him.

But she never looked back.

Resilient sweet girl x cool-headed little madman. Slow-burn, level-up plot, not a female-dominant story. The romance is not a conventional groveling-redemption arc, and there is no changing the male lead. Sometimes I just want to write something bittersweet.
