He Died a Thousand Years Ago

Before Bei Li was found and taken back by the King of the Northern Lands, she had been a beggar for nineteen years.

She was illiterate and had little talent.

Her younger sister, meanwhile, was already the heir to the Northern Lands in everyone's eyes.

Even their mother warned her not to covet what did not belong to her.

One day, while being hunted, she fell into a secret realm and met a man.

He taught her to read, cultivate, and wield a blade. He taught her to understand feelings and love.

The day the secret realm shattered, he vanished into nothing before her eyes.

Later, Bei Li heard that the master of the secret realm had died a thousand years ago.

The person she had met was merely a fragment of a broken consciousness. The person she loved did not exist.
