Tale Of The Sorceress
An eye for an eye. He wanted revenge. She wanted peace. Those who wronged her were on his blacklist. And because all he wanted was vengeance, she became someone further from his reach. --- Prosecutor Yuan Weisheng gets into an accident, unlocking the ability to see the paranormal entities of the After-Realm.

XIaoling takes Weisheng under her wing, training him to suppress the curse with cultivation. However, Weisheng experiences a split personality similar to the rumored Supreme Demon Lord during their training journey. His split personality emerges as his past incarnation and has some history with Xiaoling - a fated, yet cursed history. Cursed with the memories of his past incarnation, Weisheng's only goal in life becomes vengeance. To exact revenge for the sake of his peace-loving Master, he must go against her wishes and throw himself into the ring of war - A war against the Heavens. --- [Excerpt] Xiaoling’s heart skipped a beat. He rested his head on her shoulder often, but her heart pounded as if this was his first time. “Isn’t it funny?” Weisheng asked as he scoffed in amusement, “I vowed to protect a woman named Xiao Hua with all my life, but here I am, insanely in love with a woman named Xiaoling.” “You…” Xiaoling tried to speak but ended up silent. “It doesn’t matter who I am,” Weisheng murmured, “All that matters is you stay by my side forever.” He raised his head from her shoulder and looked into her eyes, “Because you’re the only one I have in this world.” **** “Then you deserve my forgiveness,” Xiaoling smiled brightly, “Even though you ruined my life, you came back to make it up to me, didn’t you?” “That’s just my selfishness,” Weisheng shrugged, “I don’t deserve you, but I will die before witnessing you with someone else, so…” He rolled his eyes, “You just fell into my trap.” Xiaoling chuckled, “It’s okay. I like this trap.” --- Cover Artist: https://www.instagram.com/alina._.smthng/ My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Haru.is.cuter.than.you
Honesty
Weisheng cleared his throat and looked at Hou Hai with narrowed eyes. It seemed Hou Hai had left some details.
"Oh, and then," Hou Hai murmured before pressing his lips together, "Then, I shamelessly sent another few people to look after her."
"And she caught a cold because of you," Weisheng added, "She was our best spy. I wanted you to 9et a cold, too, but alas!"
Xiaoling blinked, "Why are we talking about spies?" She asked in confusion.
Weisheng smiled, "Since you are one of us now, I figured you should know what I actually do for work," He murmured.
Xiaoling titled her head. She always wondered why a small music and dance center earned enough for Weisheng to be the wealthiest man in the Capital. It seemed her suspicions were correct.
"I'm the Minister of Justice," Weisheng admitted, "This place is just a front. Everyone working here is a spy, assassin, or soldier working for the government."
