“You said you would always treasure me.” The Grandmaster choked on blood, his body trembling beneath Chi Chengxin’s blade. “Is this how you love, Chi Cheng…? Destroying that which you love?”
Chi Cheng leaned in close, his voice soft, almost tender, but there was also something dark.
“No.”
Then colder than winter steel, he answered again, “In all your perfections, dear Grandmaster, loving me was your greatest flaw. This is how I end things I should’ve never started.”
*******
He was once Jing Ling, a celestial beast revered for his beauty and power. But punishment for his crimes in the heavenly courts left him banished, hunted, and broken. Stripped of his divinity, he escaped to the mortal realm, crawling into the cold body of a dead child from the Chi Clan.
Now reborn as Chi Cheng, he is not free. His meridians are sealed, his power coiled like a beast in chains, and his name is a stain on his clan.
Even in this second life, he suffers—mocked, unwanted, forgotten.
All he wants is quiet. Peace. Maybe even the love of Han Yijun, the senior disciple of the Ice Sect he once adored as his lover.
But on the day he arrives at the Northern Ice Sect, Han Yijun betrays him with another—and the fragile hope in Chi Cheng’s chest shatters like ice underfoot.
Then comes the Grandmaster.
A man who is feared by mortals and dangerous to the immortals. He’s meant to become a Celestial Hunter—trained to kill the very being Chi Cheng used to be. He doesn’t know who Chi really is. And yet… he can’t stop wanting him.
Affection becomes obsession. Pain blurs with pleasure. Chi Cheng becomes an addiction the Grandmaster can't stop chasing, a dream he's wanted for years.
And as demons rise, slaughtering sects in the shadows, an old lover from Jing Ling’s past returns—with one goal: to control him again and use him to bring darkness to the world again.
Now Chi Cheng walks a knife’s edge. The love he sought is not easy.
Nothing comes without blood.
******
He was reborn with sealed power, a shattered heart, and a bounty on his soul. But the one man meant to kill him… is the one he’s making fall in love.

Note: The story doesn't follow an omegaverse trope but there is a factor of mpreg much later in the story.

Alright , standard shameless Author Review. I'm back in the works after a very long time so I'm doing my best to relate this story :), so hopefully it will meet your expectations. The story isnt fast-paced and the romance will take some time to develop as my MC heals from a lot of past trauma. It is also my first time delving into Cultivation but I don't plan to go too indepth into levels and realms and such. The aspect of Cultivation will be a secondary focus in the plot so hopefully that doesn't disappoint you. Please do share your thoughts in the comments with me and ask any questions by replying to this review if you like. ~Thank you[img=Unalived]
You guys… I was planning to write a review after the first 10 chapters, but this novel is just SO well written that I binge read 70 chapters before writing this. The author has thought out the story and characters far more than other BL cultivation novels and I’m obsessed. Definitely read this one, you won’t regret it.
I can honestly say that this book is in my top 10 favorites. I love absolutely everything about this story and look forward to each new chapter😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰The description of emotions, the development of characters, everything is just amazing 🤩😍🥰🤗 keep going autor 💪❤️❤️❤️
Amazing first 11 chapters! The writing quality is top notch with no grammatical mistakes. The characters are deep, realistic and fun to see in action. The dynamic between the MC and the grandmaster is so charming even though we haven't seen much of them yet. The chemistry between them feels like an actual relationship. The world building is still in its early steps but its very promising and mysterious enough to keep you hooked to know more. All in all, this book is actually amazing! I'm definetly keeping up with the updates in the future! Keep up the good work, author![img=recommend]
First time trying this genre and I think imma keep reading lol. The author is a writing wizard because nothing else can explain the impeccable writing quality. Not even a single grammatical error. Don't forget the characters, the mc is kinda cute and relatable, poor guy will suffer a lot and I can tell, but I feed on his suffering. World building is incredible, idk how but I'm in the novel without being in it. And oh, I'm so glad the author didn't write too much unnecessary information, straight to the point.A job well done🥳
I neeeeed like super neeeeeed more chapters soo much fan service I'm screaming loved it ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 . I'm so super excited for the next chapters and how thier relationship is going to unfold
first of all, good synopsis. i haven't seen good synopsis these days. next is the start. start is very good and I have very high expectations from this book. i am getting vibes of mo dao zu shi from this. i don't expect this to match it, but I hope author can capitalise this book potential to lead it towards a great end
Really good story. Both grammar and plot are amazing. The Grandmaster is really good ML and you can't help but feel connected to MC. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.
I read only 3 chapters and this book is perfect . I love it
The story start off quite nicely and effortlessly made me like it. Characters are pretty interesting too! It only has a few chapters for now, but I'm sure the updates will be constant enough for us to get a chappy or two everyday! Keep it up author!
the author looks newbie but I tell you she's a sneaky sneaky ol' writer. so go ahead and try her book without getting scared of unknown content. 🐑🐑🐑

I just realized it today that I haven't been leaving reviews for my favourite novels on WN🥺 This book was my first BL cultivation novel, and the author really did it justice. I always eagerly looked forward to the author's updates, as the story was just one of a kind. One of the few novels on here, where the MC is not unrealistically dense and a pushover. The story's plot and the world building is also chef's 😘. Totally 5 stars-review worthy
This story is more about the interaction between the characters than the theme of cultivation. Kind of reminds me of those cultivation manhuas where cultivation is there, but isn't the main focus, which is totally fine. I have mixed feelings about the MC. I get what he was and who he's become, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if he is more human than beast. Probably more human since he lives as Chengxin 🤔 The author's storytelling is very good. If you enjoy some slow-paced romance with character building, give this story a read.
These visuals!! 😭😭😫😫 I could stare at them, all day and all night, and I would be satisfied. But I would die happy if I could see them in real life 🫣🫣 With those faces you could trample me to death and I wouldn’t even complain 🤫 Matter of fact, I’d probably roll over to make it easier for you 😓😓
