Gathering Spiritual Energy

A somewhat old-fashioned story about searching for a lost self (^.^)/

"The reason the Immortal Surveillance Bureau was first established was because of you."

Ming Wu is the "savior" in the eyes of the world, a shrine bearing everyone's hopes.

When the floodwaters rise, the shrine is sunk into the river as an offering to the gods.

Ming Wu has been a shrine for many years. She no longer has the power to choose.

But Xiao Zhaoming still does.

By facing her true self, she regains her freedom.

"Though I enter the cycle of reincarnation, this is still my own path from suffering to joy."

*Content warning: In the heroine's powerful version, she is manipulated through guilt for being too kind, and despite striving to save the world, she is betrayed. Her amnesiac version is not the type to seek revenge and slaughter her way through the world. This is not a power fantasy. The main plot is about seeking the truth and finding oneself.

*Extensive headcanons! An unconventional cultivation system!

1. The "Thousand-Mechanism Body" can be thought of as a "prosthetic limb."

2. Spiritual roots are made up of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The better they circulate, the higher one's cultivation level. (This is not a system where purer spiritual roots are better.)

3. How the Immortal Surveillance Bureau works: The heroine, in her powerful version, installed a spiritual energy valve inside the hero's body, the cultivation world's equivalent of a nuclear weapon. The hero established the Immortal Surveillance Bureau for the heroine. This couple are deeply in love with each other!

*Cool-headed, warm-hearted heroine with a secret identity x sharp-tongued, cunning, devoted husband of a hero
