Lu Ning transmigrated into a male-oriented novel with no romance, becoming an elite monster in the starting village.
She worked diligently for three years. When the starting village boss was finally defeated, she logged off too.
But when she opened her eyes again, she was still in the world of the book. At least she had arrived a hundred years later, and the male lead she had once taken to the starting village had already ascended.
On a return visit to the old place, she went back to the starting village and unexpectedly made her way to the back mountain.
Soul-summoning banners fluttered all over the mountain. At the center of the summoning array lay the soul lantern she had searched for in vain.
That bastard male lead must be doing this to get back at her.
That’s why he trapped her in this world and wouldn’t let her go home.
Lu Ning ground her teeth. Fine, Wu Xiyue! I should’ve named you Li Goudan back then!

Wu Xiyue was born into the imperial family of the mortal realm. His mother, the empress, died in childbirth.
The Imperial Preceptor declared that the child was ill-omened, born under the Star of Calamity, and must not be allowed to live. The empress’s nursemaid pitied the innocent baby and sent him out of the palace while he was still swaddled, entrusting him to a young couple to raise.
When he was eight, his adoptive parents died because of him.
He was taken to the cultivation world and given a name of his own.
“Rong Qi. It sounds like ‘container,’ and that’s an unlucky name. I’ll give you a new one...” The woman with ulterior motives furrowed her brow in thought. “How about Wu Xiyue?”
He smiled and said, “All right.”
When he was eighteen, the person who had named him jumped into the River of Forgetfulness before his eyes, her soul returning to her homeland.
With no kin to rely on, he was destined to grow old alone.
Perhaps this was simply his fate.

* One-on-one romance, happy ending.
* My take on cultivation, with plenty of original worldbuilding.
Theme: Those who never forget will eventually be answered.
