The last person Chen Buping saw before he died was Li Shuyu.
The snow fell especially heavily that day, drifting down and settling all over them.
Sitting on the ground, Chen Buping opened the notebook of the one person who had been his nemesis all his life. Before the gravestone, he began to remember the years they had spent competing and crossing swords.
Yet as he reached the end of the notebook, between its plain, matter-of-fact sentences and the hastily scrawled, illegible ending, Chen Buping suddenly glimpsed a truth so simple it was hard to believe:
Li Shuyu loved him.
Since a bright, sunny day in the gentle spring.
*
Chen Buping had spent his whole life feeling wronged.
He was annoyed by everyone, and Li Shuyu was the prime example.
After transmigrating, Chen Buping thought he had the script of a humble-born male lead in his hands. Then he turned around and found that a genius had already left everyone else in the dust.
So he gritted his teeth and practiced diligently, day and night, swearing to reclaim everything that belonged to him.
Sadly, after traveling for half a lifetime, Li Shuyu had become the senior disciple of the Jiuhuan Sect, acclaimed by all as the foremost leader of the righteous path, while he had become a demon cultivator who slaughtered without mercy.
Chen Buping grew even more indignant.
He spent years in this state of indignation, until one day, Li Shuyu suddenly died.

1. Nemesis romance and memoir
2. Death at the start, followed by rebirth: a big, happy ending
3. My own take on cultivation, with a mountain of original worldbuilding
4. The protagonist has a transmigration background and is extremely unhinged (emphasis added)
I just love writing niche stuff. Don't mind me, the author is already so immersed in their own art that there's no coming back ^_^
