Fated Rival

He was a discarded son of a minor cultivation clan—silent, unremarkable, forgotten.



In his past life, Gu Pinglin was chosen by fate and trained by a powerful sect master, only to fall to the schemes of his destined enemy, Duan Qingming. His sect destroyed, his Dao shattered, he died with hatred in his heart and vengeance on his lips.



Now reborn in his ten-year-old body, Gu Pinglin has returned—with memories of a future soaked in blood.



This time, he will walk the Dao with a clear heart.



He will protect the sect that raised him.



And when the time comes, he will stand once more before the boy who became his rival in destiny—and challenge him, not with rage, but with power.



Fated Rival is a xianxia-inspired tale of reincarnation, cultivation, and slow-burning revenge. Perfect for fans of rivalries, sect intrigue, and destined battles that span lifetimes.
