All Things Have Spirits

[The Chancellor's Proud Little Heiress x The General's Lovestruck Young Master]

Yang Wansheng was the granddaughter of Chancellor Yang, a founding hero. From childhood, she was doted on and admired by everyone, from the emperor to ordinary people.

She had no love for staying cooped up at home and preferred the vast world of the jianghu. So she followed her master in founding a new sect, the Wuling Immortal Sect.

She was exceptionally talented and gifted. Before long, she cultivated her Wuling to the highest level, then, without precedent, cultivated a second Wuling as well, becoming the first person to possess two Wulings.

She was engaged to her childhood friend, Yue Xuanyu, the second son of the General's household. The two were always competing in martial arts, neither willing to yield, each determined to come out on top.

Not long after the Wuling Immortal Sect was founded, Yue Xuanyu established his own sect, the Moshan Sword Sect. The two sects often worked together on missions.

But gradually, a rift developed between the sects, and between the two of them. They stopped seeing each other.

Later, it was said that Yang Wansheng had put the sister of a criminal in mortal danger to swiftly resolve a case, heedless of the lives of innocent people. The incident became known as the "Sisters Case." Then, to win the people's trust, Yang Wansheng staged a performance, secretly keeping evil spirits and releasing them before capturing them again. This was known as the "Evil Spirit Uprising." After that, to increase her power, Yang Wansheng slaughtered an entire sect in Linxi, an event known as the "Shayan Bloodbath."

Still unsatisfied with her own abilities, she secretly allied with the rebellious states of the northwest and leaked state secrets, seeking to overthrow the dynasty. In the end, several sects joined forces to capture her and besiege the Wuling Immortal Sect. This was known as the "Great Victory at Chenshan."

Among the sects in the siege was the Moshan Sword Sect, led by her fiance, Yue Xuanyu. It was said that Yue Xuanyu led his entire sect to attack the mountain, but during the confrontation, Yang Wansheng dragged him with her over a cliff thousands of feet deep. Neither body was ever found.

Two hundred years later, the two awoke, and someone rescued them.

Due to her injuries, Yang Wansheng had lost her memories of Yue Xuanyu. But that didn't matter. What mattered was that the world had changed!

After working so hard to earn a reputation as a thoroughly wicked villain, nobody recognized her anymore. Could that count as a good thing?

She returned to the jianghu and found new adventures and new friends. Yang Wansheng thought that this "restart" must not lead to the same ending as before.

As strange cases continued to occur, she realized that many questions from a century earlier seemed to be answerable at last. The truths buried in the mud were beginning to surface one by one.

On this new journey, the person who had always loved challenging her to martial arts matches still loved sticking close to her.

Even if she didn't remember him, his strange, affected behavior was obvious.

"Qingluo," he called her by her childhood nickname. "I'm sorry."

She tilted her head and smiled. "I don't believe in heaven and earth, or in ghosts and gods, but I believe in you."
