Li Hua's reign as the twenty-first century's deadliest assassin ended in fire and betrayal. Her own sister, Li Min, turned their elite force against her, leaving nothing but ashes where a legend once stood.

In the moment of her death, Li Hua's soul tore free from its earthly bonds, hurtling across the boundaries between worlds until it anchored itself in a new vessel in a realm of ancient martial arts and mystical cultivation. Through this impossible transition, her inner space remained intact—and with it, Little Firefly, her spirit companion.

Here, where qi flows like rivers and mountains bow to those who master their cultivation, Li Hua will forge herself anew. No longer content to be merely an assassin of mortal flesh, she sets her sights on ascending to immortality itself—a journey that will shake the very foundations of heaven.

DEDICATION
To those of us whose cultivation path always leads to immortals with questionable morals and perfect jaw lines.
May your daddy issues transcend the three realms and be rewarded with an ancient being who knows exactly what he's doing.

Re-birth: The Beginning after the End

Li Hao's stance shifted subtly, ready for whatever might emerge. "All those fucking illusions was just so the labyrinth could teach those things...to become us?"

Li Hua studied her shadow-self with a focused scrutiny, recognizing her own lethal grace twisted into something inhuman. "The labyrinth's final challenge," she said softly. "To face the darkest versions of ourselves."

The shadow duplicates struck without warning. Li Wei's dark reflection wove arrays of impossible complexity, each formation crackling with corrupted power. The real Li Wei's water essence shimmered as he countered, but his shadow-self anticipated every move—of course it did, it knew his thoughts before he formed them. "It's not just mimicking," he called out, narrowly avoiding a bolt of twisted energy. "It's perfecting our techniques, finding ways to use them that we feared to try!"
