The Ice-Cold Beauty Was Won Over by a Nobody

Carefree, natural genius as a background character // Aloof, emotionally detached male lead

Qingsui never wanted to be reborn. In her previous life, after enduring countless hardships and killing her enemy with her own hands, things still went wrong. She used the last of her cultivation to protect a city full of ordinary people, then died, her spirit and body destroyed. She had no regrets, though she did wish she'd had the chance to experience more ways of living.

The world's spirit that brought her back to life told her, "This is all fate."

After being reborn, she follows the path of her previous life, working hard to cultivate and living as she pleases. But some things always catch her off guard. She ends up sharing a bed with Senior Brother Xie Zhiwen, revered by countless members of the sect. Senior Brother Xie is extraordinarily gifted and elegant, as bright and beautiful as the moon. She once admired him, but kept those feelings in her heart and never showed them.

One day, someone is by the side of this Senior Brother Xie, who seems untouched by worldly concerns. Qingsui has seen that woman before: she's lovely and exceptionally talented. The two are like a flawless pair of matching jade, perfectly suited to each other. The feelings in Qingsui's heart gradually fade away.

But thanks to a twist of fate in this life, she and Senior Brother Xie now have to cultivate together once a month. She's tried countless ways to undo the arrangement, but none have worked, so she and Senior Brother Xie agree to keep it up for now. When that woman appears, Qingsui thinks she's found a way to break the arrangement. She goes on a trip to the human world with a friend, but she's been gone for only half a day when Senior Brother Xie finds her and tells her their cultivation arrangement hasn't been undone.

Xie Zhiwen was chosen as a disciple by an immortal in a village that had been massacred. No one knew there had been two survivors. He mentioned the other one in passing, and the immortal brought that person back to the sect as well. After joining the Fuyi Sect, he devoted himself to cultivation. He poured everything into taking revenge, but lost himself over a woman. He resisted, but his cultivation suffered greatly, and his blood feud remained unavenged.

When his body was severely depleted one time, a voice claiming to be the world's spirit told him that he was the male lead of this world and tried to control him, forcing him to live according to the story. He could only pretend to go along with it. He grew sick and tired of living that way.

When news came that his enemy had been killed, Xie Zhiwen was deeply shaken. He felt gratitude and respect for the fellow villager he had long since forgotten. His revenge was complete, and he began plotting to kill every protagonist mentioned by the world's consciousness.

After being reborn, Xie Zhiwen unconsciously pays attention to the person who avenged him in his previous life, and his affection for her grows. An accident brings them together intimately, and he coaxes her into making an agreement with him: they will cultivate together once a month. He has always believed they are mutually attracted and deeply in love. But as soon as the so-called heroine appears, Qingsui vanishes. When he finds her, she is smiling and chatting with a man, and the two seem quite familiar with each other.

Xie Zhiwen maintains an aloof, untouchable facade, but in private, when the two cultivate together, he is rougher than before, leaving marks all over her. Even when Qingsui begs him to stop, he doesn't. As they move together, Xie Zhiwen's eyes darken with desire as he watches her flushed face beneath him. She can only be his, whether in their past life, this life, or all the lives to come.

P.S.

The male and female leads aren't good people in the conventional sense, so please avoid this if that bothers you. They are devoted to each other in body and soul and have no intimate contact with anyone else. The original novel's heroine isn't fated to be with the male lead. She's a good person who only wants to go home.

The heroine is very strong. In her previous life, she killed her enemy herself. She once admired the male lead, but after being reborn, she only wants to live as she pleases. The leads become intimate first and fall deeply in love afterward. The male lead is slightly coercive and has a bit of a groveling-to-win-her-back arc.

Theme: What goes around comes around. Stay true to yourself.
