The Wind and Moon Break the Calm

1.

Princess Lingyi has lived twice.

But she remembers nothing of the past.

According to the divine chronicles, among the ancient gods, the Ancestral God reigns supreme, while the Imperial Princess and Imperial Lord hold equal power and keep each other in check.

For tens of thousands of years, Xie Qingyue and she have been at loggerheads, unable to coexist. He wants to take her power, and her life.

Whenever the two of them are mentioned, the gods all shake their heads and sigh. Years of resentment cannot be resolved in a day, and even Lingyi believes this.

Until calamity descends and heaven and earth are overturned.

She stands against the Six Realms alone.

Corpses litter the ground and life is laid to waste. She came here prepared to perish together with them.

Through her fading divine consciousness, she sees Xie Qingyue, covered in blood and leaning on a broken sword, come to her. He carries her across a sea of corpses and kneels for a long time before the Altar of Destiny.

After ten thousand years as a god, he becomes a demon in a single day.

As the solemn bells ring from beyond this world, he, too, imitates mortals, pressing his palms together, his gaze devout, and bowing from afar to the divine statue.

If she is destined to suffer many hardships, please let me bear some of them for her.

When Lingyi opens her eyes again, she is back in the Boundless Heaven.

Golden light flashes. In the deadly formation, she sees that god, covered in wounds and as wretched as ever.

She stands outside the formation, lost in thought for a long time. At last, she breaks through it, carefully lifts him onto her back, and walks out step by step.

Just as he once carried her through the blood and wind.

-

Everyone says they can't stand each other.

But she insists:

"These countless volumes of divine history should bear both our names."

Reading Guide:

1. HE / 1v1 / SC / equally powerful leads. Plot-focused, with the heroine at her strongest from the start and no leveling up. Some ensemble cast, traditional xianxia, with no cultivation background borrowed from other works; the setting is entirely my own.

2. Due to the premise, there will be many flashbacks interwoven throughout. The main story focuses on piecing together what happened, so please give it a miss if that's not your thing.

3. Neither the main nor supporting characters are perfect; each has flaws. There will be multiple twists later, and different perspectives may lead to different understandings. This is not a story about winning back an ex.
