The Universally Hated Substitute Becomes the White Moonlight

[Ex-Lovers Begging for Forgiveness + Irresistible Charm + Narcissism + Xianxia + Unforgettable First Love]

Wen Xun was once the beloved junior disciple of everyone in the Fengxu Mountain sect, until one day he accidentally uncovered a secret.

From then on, everything changed.

The senior brother who had once looked after him in every way frowned and scolded him for asking too much.

The aloof, noble genius of the sect personally placed a curse on him, making him suffer every day.

The demon who had fallen from the Ninth Heaven for his sake glared at him and demanded to know why he had the exact same face as that person.

Even his usually affectionate master no longer wanted to look at him, only sighing, "You are not him, after all."

Only then did Wen Xun realize that none of the care and affection had ever belonged to him. He was a substitute, and everyone had someone else in their heart, someone who looked just like him.

He tried to hold on to them with sincerity, but no matter how many times he looked back, all he received was disgust and contempt.

So he went mad. Their affection turned to ashes, and in the end, he was left alone to bear this love that had been humble enough to sink into the dust.

*

On the day the sect celebrated, his master, who had once doted on him most of all, branded him a madman and cast him out of Fengxu Mountain.

Tendons torn out, bones stripped bare, a hundred poisons eating at his heart, his face disfigured. These were the last gifts the people he loved gave him before he left the sect.

The wind howled. Wearing only a thin robe, his magic gone, Wen Xun dragged his frozen body alone along the edge of the Realm of Ice and Fire.

It seemed all his love had been left behind in memories he could never return to.

He stumbled into the Realm of Ice and Fire. After his soul and body dispersed, he was unexpectedly reforged and reborn. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself possessed of power unlike anything he had ever known.

The price was that he had lost the ability to love.

He didn't need it.

*

When he returned to the sect with his sword in hand, he found everyone watching him with eager eyes.

His senior brother's gaze was gentle as before as he softly called him A-Xun.

The aloof, noble genius of the sect knelt before him, casting aside all dignity as he begged him frantically not to leave.

The demon who had once gripped his neck and torn out his tendons and bones looked at him with red eyes, personally removing his own divine soul and offering it to him with both hands.

And his master, who had personally cast him out of the sect, offered him the entire Fengxu Mountain sect, just like all his fellow disciples, begging him to stay.

With one swing of his sword, Wen Xun shattered all their old affections.

*

Yet a pair of deep eyes had been watching Wen Xun all along, tender and infinitely loving. When Wen Xun swung his sword at him, he neither dodged nor resisted. His fading form turned into countless gentle rays of light that enveloped Wen Xun.

"Do you like it? Everyone is a gift from me to you."

Wen Xun looked coldly back at the beautiful face exactly like his own, now gazing at him with a smile.

"You can't kill me. I am your lost desire to love, eternally devoted to you."

*Narcissism! The protagonist stands alone and only loves himself.
