Transmigrated to My Nemesis's Younger Days

[I transmigrated back to my sworn enemy's darkest hour and personally wove him a beautiful dream]

The Dao Yi Venerable and the Yuan Yao Venerable are sworn enemies known throughout the Nine Heavens, Four Seas, and Five Lands. They never meet, and no one dares mention one in front of the other.

Though they studied under the same master, they fought each other to the death.

The Dao Yi Venerable hates him for repeatedly stealing her chances to ascend. The Yuan Yao Venerable resents her for repeatedly ruining his plans to destroy the world.

Just as she is about to ascend again, the Yuan Yao Venerable appears once more, causing her tribulation to fail and her soul to scatter.

When she wakes again, the Dao Yi Venerable has transmigrated into You Lingyi, the frail eldest daughter of a cultivation family.

And her sworn enemy, the Yuan Yao Venerable, who will one day destroy her path to immortality, is now lying in the mud like a stray dog, trampled by everyone.

You Lingyi smiles.

She bends down and reaches out to the gaunt young man, her smile sweeter than honey:

"Come with me? I'll give you a home, keep you from being bullied, and give you everything you want."

She watches him sink deeper, watches the ice in his eyes melt into blazing fire, watches him... place his whole heart in her hands.

Save him, cherish him, raise him up to the clouds.

Then, just when he depends on her most, personally push him into hell.

That is the perfect revenge.

In the shameful, dark first half of the Yuan Yao Venerable's life, only You Lingyi ever gave him light.

She gave him a name, taught him to read and cultivate, tended his wounds, cooked him porridge, and gave him a warmth he had never dared hope for.

He engraved that tenderness deep in his bones, and revered it as the faith of his life.

Until the day of the ascension tribulation, when she plunged the sword he had given her into his heart.

Only then did he learn that honey was poison, salvation was a scheme, and the whole world he thought he possessed was a carefully plotted deception.

She had pulled him out of hell, only to personally cast him back in, where he would suffer forever.

And the person he hated had vanished from the world without a trace!

Later, everyone throughout the Nine Heavens, Four Seas, and Five Lands knew that the Yuan Yao Venerable had one taboo: anyone who mentioned the white moonlight of his youth would die.
