Bai Suzhen Through My Eyes

Bai Suzhen has cultivated for a thousand years, all for the sake of ascending to immortality. On the eve of her ascension, she discovers that the first page of the Tribulation Ledger is a fake: two hundred years are missing from her record, and someone has taken her name, claimed her blessings, and stolen her place. She descends the mountain to set the record straight. At Hangzhou's Broken Bridge, someone holds out an umbrella. His name is Xu Xian. His name is written in the ledger: impersonator, flagged. She thinks he will be afraid of her. But she doesn't hide, and he doesn't run. She reveals her true form, and he pours the wine; she checks the ledger, and he hands her a blade. He has waited for her for more than a decade. What she doesn't know is whether he has been waiting for her, or for the impostor.
