Jadeite

A heartless, desireless "villainess" vs. her lovesick, devoted younger brother

-

There is no time in the Wudu River, but its ruler once named that stretch of time "the Third Month of Spring."

According to an unofficial historical record, the princess of Beili died in the Third Month of Spring. The one who lit a lamp to guide her across the River of the Dead was none other than the ruler of the Wudu River.

Chang Yan saw her nine times in the Wudu River, accompanying her through six reincarnations. Every time, she met a certain death. As someone who guided souls into the mortal world, he should have long since grown used to parting through death. Yet for someone like her, he eventually sought a fortune slip with no writing on it, for the sake of a wisp of a remnant soul.

He spent all his life's merit to ensure she lived out her natural lifespan in her ninth life. That was also the last time he lit a lamp and guided her soul in the Wudu River.

It was not until the seventh day after returning from the Demon-Hiding Cavern that Li Xin saw Chang Yan again.

He held the Soul-Seizing Fan in one hand and peeled his own divine soul away. He did not even flinch when a long spear pierced his body. The stench of blood and screams spread throughout the entire Li Xin Sea.

His divine soul was successfully torn free. Chang Yan's bloody hands carefully cradled the pure, spotless soul, his expression strained with effort, his gaze terrifying. Laughing almost madly, he cupped Li Xin's face and whispered like a demon, "I found you, Elder Sister."

Reader's Guide:

1. Fake siblings, slow burn, and a firmly devoted, mutually exclusive couple.

2. Not a strong female lead story. Plot-focused, with extensive original worldbuilding.

3. The heroine's dark side is completely unhinged!

4. The past-life storyline begins in Chapter 2.

Theme: A bond that entangles them life after life
