The White Moonlight Who Crashed and Burned

[I'm sorry, but I can't keep writing this story. Even though I have a complete outline and know exactly how I want the rest to go, I just can't make myself write it. Every day I force myself to write through the anxiety, then revise each chapter three or four times, and I'm still never satisfied. After agonizing over it for a while, I've decided to stop writing.]

[I'm truly sorry to everyone who's been following the story. I've kept you waiting for nothing and let you down.]

Gu Luo remembers it clearly: it was the second day of the Sword Trial Tournament.

The Demon Lord, disguised as a rogue cultivator, risked sneaking into Lingxiao Sect and trapped her in the Nieye Pool. He said all sorts of strange things to her.

He said, "You may not know me yet, but I knew you in a past life."

He also said, "I know what you're really like, and I know that your charming kindness and thoughtfulness are nothing but a disguise."

"You don't need to be afraid. I won't tell anyone. I only want to warn you that the junior sister your master brought back a few days ago will expose your disguise in front of others and make your sect turn against you. You'd better get rid of her as soon as possible."

"If you want, I can help you kill everyone who hates and abandons you."

Beneath the moonlight, the Demon Lord's red eyes were filled with tenderness, as if the vast world held room for no one but her.

Gu Luo naturally couldn't trust the words of a demonic cultivator. But after she made several mistakes and her junior sister witnessed them, all sorts of misunderstandings arose, and her fellow disciples started looking at her more and more strangely. At last, she decided to arrange a meeting with the Demon Lord at Yu Jia Peak.

On the very day they were supposed to meet, the Demon Lord died.

With the Demon Lord dead, the armies of the Demon Realm pressed against the border, nearly breaching the barrier.

To protect the common folk along the border, the righteous cultivators reluctantly negotiated with the Demon Realm, promising to hand over the murderer in exchange for its armies withdrawing.

Wu Yan happened to pass through Lingxiao Sect and investigated the truth behind the Demon Lord's death. Only after completing his investigation did he discover that the whole case had been one move in someone's game from the very start.

The player who made that move was named Gu Luo, a gambler with grand ambitions.

[She used her gentle smile to hide the ambition burning in her eyes.]
