After Perishing Together with the Male Lead
Synopsis
Xue Yu, born into a life of privilege, was the treasured little princess of Ye City. One day, among the countless death-row prisoners on the Tribunal of the Six Realms, she singled out Song Heng, a dying youth whose celestial bones had been stripped away.
No one could have imagined that the broken boy she casually pointed to, his tendons severed and unable to even stand, would one day endure unimaginable hardships, wield his sword, and climb his way to power – becoming a king, a Dao Lord, a sect master, and ultimately ascending to the throne as the supreme ruler of the immortal realm.
Xue Yu firmly believed that even the coldest heart of stone could be warmed. For thousands of years, she devoted herself to softening Song Heng’s, only to receive nothing in return. Instead, she was greeted with the news of him leading an army to raze Ye City to the ground and reuniting with his long-lost first love.
On the day Song Heng returned in triumph, the Celestial Palace was adorned with lights and filled with joy. In the main hall, he removed his armor and, holding his blood-stained sword, said to Xue Yu, "This was not my wish but something I had no choice but to do."
That night, Xue Yu turned herself into a blazing fire, using a lethal method that nearly shattered her soul to perish alongside Song Heng.
Unexpectedly, through a twist of fate, the two of them were sent back to a thousand years ago.
At that time, the young Song Heng was like a dying beast, covered in whip marks and lying weakly on the Tribunal Platform, barely clinging to life.
This time, Xue Yu sat high above, her gaze sweeping past Song Heng without the slightest pause.
After a moment, she extended her slender finger, pointing not at Song Heng but at the boy beside him – also freshly punished, feral like a wolf cub. Her red lips curved slightly as she said, “I want him.”
Su You was a ghost of great malice. Abandoned by his closest kin at birth, he endured scorn and curses from the world. Yet he possessed the most unyielding will and the most enviable talent. He gained fame in his youth but strayed onto the dark path, his hands stained with blood and his deeds rife with cruelty. Eventually, he was crippled, his cultivation destroyed, and he was thrown onto the Tribunal of the Six Realms.
He thought his life would end there, but to his surprise, on the Tribunal Platform, among the six Dao chairs, one person casually extended a finger and pointed at him.
The one who saved him was the Crown Princess of Ye City, Xue Yu.
She ordered his tendons and bones to be mended, gave him the finest medicines, and taught him the art of strategy and power, grooming him into her most trusted confidant.
Su You, once a despised ghost of malice, transformed into the illustrious and enigmatic Young Master You, admired and revered by all.
One day, at a grand event in the Six Realms, Su You crossed paths with the equally celebrated Song Heng.
On the dueling stage, Su You once again transformed into a vengeful ghost. Dragging his tattered wings, exuding an overwhelming aura of hostility, he slowly and methodically crushed the fingers Song Heng had extended toward Xue Yu. The shadow in his eyes and the intensity of his possessiveness were utterly terrifying.
A sweet romance disguised as a xianxia tale, with creative liberties as vast as mountains.
