Lu Ye has a long dream and recalls his past life. Only then does he realize that life is unpredictable, and everything is ultimately a matter of fate.
People often say, "There is a White Jade Capital in the heavens, and immortals dwell within it." But who has ever spared a thought for the fact that immortals, too, have emotions and desires, and experience both joy and sorrow?
Pei Zuoyou was considered heaven's favored child from birth. With extraordinary talent, he rose to the very top of the sword path in just a few short years. He was a banished immortal, the most promising candidate for ascension, and the revered senior disciple his juniors all looked up to.
Yet who could have guessed that a man like him would be a self-sacrificing, love-struck fool who liked men? He fell in love with someone he shouldn't have, and paid dearly for it.
The man who had stood above everyone was ground into the mud, imprisoned day after day by unrequited love and tormented without end.
Those who envied him broke his proud spirit, while those who didn't know the truth cursed him every day...
His end was worse than a dog's.
Lu Ye couldn't make sense of it. Pei Zuoyou shouldn't have been like that, because he was the most immortal-like person Lu Ye had ever met.
Ever since childhood, Lu Ye had loved the immortals who flew through the sky. Whenever they passed over his little town on their swords, he always thought:
An immortal should be noble and pure, untouched by worldly dust.
An immortal should stand at the highest peak and look down upon all living things.
An immortal should shatter every spell with a single sword stroke, with every petty concern ending as a soul beneath his blade.
Pei Zuoyou clearly had the strength to live up to that ideal. Why would someone like him willingly turn himself into a person everyone despised?
Lu Ye couldn't understand it. He truly...
couldn't understand.
Reborn into a new life, Lu Ye sees again the pure, otherworldly senior disciple he remembers. Watching him remain as kind and patient as ever with his fellow disciples, Lu Ye feels an unexpected pang of irritation.
One day, after once again saving his senior disciple, who had put himself in danger on someone else's behalf, anger surges in Lu Ye's bloodstained eyes.
He stares at Pei Zuoyou and suddenly sneers. "You love saving people so much? Then why don't you let your senior brother save me for a change?"
Reading guide:
1. Both leads are reborn.
2. The gong is a steady, kind-hearted reborn man x the shou is a proud, outwardly sweet but secretly calculating senior disciple.
3. I may revise the blurb again before the novel opens, but the core character concepts won't change. The protagonists' personalities will be fleshed out in more detail.
