Between the Parting Moons

【Black-hearted, carefree street wanderer who’s as harmless as a flowering broad bean x beautiful, powerful, tragic villainess who plays the pig to eat the tiger】 The Prison Bureau had finally received another criminal. Qi Chushang, once a dazzling disciple of Mount Taiyi of the Xuanling Sect, had killed the chosen one. The Heavenly Book had prophesied that this person would avert a century-long calamity in the cultivation world, and the people had adored them. She was sentenced to life imprisonment, never to see the light of day again. Everyone thought that was the end of her, that she’d never rise again. Until one blustery winter day, the woman appeared once more. Using a puppet, she scurried around someone else’s estate, stealing chickens and pilfering whatever she could. When she ran into an old enemy who was still alive, she cried in shock, “How are you not dead yet?!” Her enemy: “...” How did you escape from the Prison Bureau, supposedly the most secure prison in the cultivation world, anyway?! An old acquaintance sells her out? She stomps and breaks their leg. A half-immortal fallen to demonic cultivation has a treasure? She happily takes it. An enemy is still breathing? She sends them to the next life. At the end of the long street stood an old familiar face. The two of them had been at each other since childhood, never able to get along onstage or off. Now they ran into each other again. “Who could it be, always going out of their way to oppose me?” Recognizing her, the old acquaintance strode forward instead of backing away, smiling with easy abandon. “Well, look who it is!” Qi Chushang: “Get lost. Stop blocking my view.” * You Xi’s status as a human medicine vessel had never been a secret. He was used to humiliation, used to living in darkness. He knew there was no light in his bleak, hopeless life, and he had never dared to hope for any. But there was always one beam of light that violently split the gloom, robbing him of everything as if it were taking what it pleased. He waited for seven years. Those years settled over him like ice and snow, until at last he saw that light again. He kept a thousand words locked in his heart, and in the end, only one sentence escaped: “For all my life, I will wait for you, through life and death.” Theme: Breaking down prejudice
