Prolog

"When you fall in love with someone, but you can't have it. What will you do?"

***

The world of cultivation is very strict, especially when it comes to the power level of cultivators. Whoever has the highest level of cultivation power above average, then he is the one in power.

But, of course all that remains under the rules of the Heave. By reaching the heavenly pillar and breaking through the heavens, one could only be said to be supreme in cultivation strength.

Until all are competing to increase strength in various ways to reach the heavenly pillar. At the same time, news spread about the appearance of a twin phoenix jade gem that had been sent down by the emperor of the heavens to earth. A jade gem that if one possessed it one would have boundless power and could raise one's cultivation level to the highest so that one could reach the heavenly pillars quickly and practically, and even penetrate the heavens to obtain the desired immortality.

Eleventh Full Moon – Year of Fire.

The two empires stood under the dominion of the sky clan and the earth clan. As the name implies, these two empires are far apart and never united, always at odds and enemies. However, there was one thing in common between the two, namely, the two emperors of the two empires both possessed high cultivation levels, even if they competed in strength, they would only waste energy in vain because in the end it would always end in a draw. There was neither victory nor defeat, thus the appearance of the jade gem set them both on fire.

They searched and competed for the twin phoenix jade gems. Both of them are ambitious for a power to reach the heavenly pillar. Even for the sake of it all, one of them actually fell. The emperor of the earth clan actually fell into the earth to take the path of hell and cultivate demons.

The emperor was called Fengyin Haochun. A young emperor, the only crown prince of the Feng empire. But because of his heretical cultivation plus his nature, everyone had secretly referred to the emperor as the Great Feng demon emperor.

Then, if in the Feng empire there was a Fengyin emperor, in the Li empire there was an emperor who was also a young emperor, and the only remaining crown prince after the other crown princes disappeared and was declared dead as a result of a tragedy in the struggle for the throne.

The young emperor of the Li empire was named Li Xi a crown prince with the nickname of the silver moon knight. The nickname was certainly not just a name attached to him but was indeed in accordance with the personality of the young prince and emperor.

Emperor Li's figure was a man who was handsome and handsome until people equated him with the full moon in the sky, while his nature, he was a friendly and helpful person, even if there was a problem that occurred in his empire he would go down directly to deal with the problem. like a knight. It was due to personal matters and apparently that's how his nickname was born, namely the silver moon knight, and everyone in the Li empire knew about that nickname. No one does not know him, especially among the girls of course.

Li Xi's figure became a dream for all the women there because the young emperor had a gentle smile that was so distinctive, even that smile competed with the charming full moon in the calm night sky.

Together with their respective clans. The two young emperors tried to find and compete with each other as to who would reach the heavenly pillar first by obtaining the twin phoenix jade gems.

After such a heated search, they finally found the end. The two of them found out that the twin phoenix jade gems were in a large spring called Yue Lan spring. It is a twin spring that resides in the Li empire.

Of course there is a reason why it is called the twin springs. If you're wondering then I'll explain. The twin springs were the same spring as the spring in the Feng empire. But in the Feng empire the spring was called the Jade Lake. And a little information if the two springs are actually connected to each other through a very long river which for some reason has a strong current of water, so that someone will easily be carried away by it like the process of a snake swallowing its food.

At this point, everyone may have guessed who the winner is, right?. The one who obtained the twin phoenix jade gems and would soon reach the heavenly pillar.

Yes, it is Emperor Li!

But all those guesses were dispelled after learning the fact that even Emperor Li had never seen the shape of the twin phoenix jade gem that was revealed to be in his Yue Lan spring.

The twin phoenic jade gems had already disappeared from there before Emperor Li saw it.

No one knew where the jade gem had gone. Only fate knows that the jade gem is in the hands of an orphaned girl whose parents are unknown. A girl who doesn't even think about cultivating in her daily life because she is busy looking for something to fill her stomach from day to day.

The girl's name is Xiang Lian, she is an ordinary girl who is cheerful and never complains in her very simple life, it can even be said to be completely lacking if someone never helps her. Xiang Lian is often helped by a woman who is half a year older than him. She was a mature and firm independent woman named Liu Qionglin.

Liu Qionglin herself was a butler in the Feng empire and also someone who had considered Xiang Lian as her own younger siater. She loved the figure she called Meimei with firmness.

Although Liu Qionglin's attitude was firm towards Xiang Lian, Xiang Lian knew that the person She called Miss Liu was a person who really loved him. Even Miss Liu helped him get a job in the Feng empire as a royal servant.

When you hear about the status of a servant's job, some people might reject it, especially being a servant in the Feng Empire. But for Xiang Lian, working as a maid was a wonderful thing. She is even very grateful to be able to work as a royal servant, because the lives of the servants in the Feng empire are guaranteed if only about clothing and food that Xiang Lian needs more for her survival.

Even though Xiang Lian herself was orphaned and poor, fate was still at least kind to him. Apart from meeting someone as good as Liu Qionglin and getting a job that many poor villagers wanted at that time, Xiang Lian still had another good destiny by making an emperor. Ah, not one but two people!.

Yes, the two emperors were already captivated by Xiang Lian's natural beauty and genuine kindness from her pure heart.

But unfortunately an emperor has to accept unrequited love because Xiang Lian prefers the Fengyin emperor over the Li Xi emperor figure.

Sounds like a story that will have a happy ending, but everything is not as beautiful as Xiang Lian herself imagined. Never expected that he would have to compete with a woman who had become the emperor's favorite concubine. Actually the status of the emperor's favorite concubine that was pinned was only made by the concubine herself so that people could see her. Also plus emperor Feng's true intention was to approach Xiang Lian just to take the phoenix jade gem in her hands.

If you think about status, it is possible that Emperor Feng could take the gem from Xiang Lian's hand, who is only a servant in his kingdom. But in fact all of this is not as easy as it seems because the phoenix jade seems to have its own consciousness and will to choose its master, so that even if the jade has to change hands, it must be with the permission of the pre-selected owner.

Time runs in steps. The emperor's original intentions were fading away.

So long down the winding uphill road in the steep mountains finally a treasure was seen. Day by day, Emperor Feng became more and more aware of Xiang Lian's figure and was more and more attracted to him like he saw a sparkling gem. This made the emperor want to continue to approach him and be by Xiang Lian's side. And without realizing it, Fengyin really fell in love with the servant girl because of the sparkle in his heart that he didn't deserve to be tarnished.

For someone with the status of the emperor's favorite concubine must feel uncomfortable and disturbed by Emperor Feng's attraction to the maid who she secretly admits to be beautiful but careless. Xiang Lian's innocence was also so pure as to attract Fengyin's attention that she was worried that her position as a favorite concubine would be usurped.

In the end at all costs, the concubine tried to keep Feng emperor away from Xiang Lian, even taking advantage of Xiang Lian's recklessness and innocence to unite, hoping that Feng emperor would hate her for doing so and punish her. But instead of getting further away, Emperor Feng got closer to Xiang Lian and often met him secretly to just talk.

Unbeknownst to both of them, falling in love sparks the anger of the emperor's favorite concubine.

No matter what fate awaits, they must remain on the predetermined storyline.

"Ah, not in the real world, not in the fantasy world. One can always cheat in the name of love!," a girl pouted and closed the book in annoyance, "even though the emperor actually fell in love with Xiang Lian, still nothing happened. know the true contents of a person's heart. This is why I don't want to fall in love!," the girl sighed and sighed heavily, she looked back at the book in her hand which she closed by slamming it in annoyance after reading the sample preview of the novel. His brow furrowed—he was thinking hard about whether to buy the novel or not.

That girl is none other than An Jia Li, a beautiful and sweet girl. She is also a cheerful and smart girl so it is not surprising that she has been a young director since the age of seventeen in her own company which is engaged in the health sector.

Apart from being a beautiful young director, An Jia Li is also a lover of fantasy genre novels but always puts aside the romantic genre. Yes, it was one of those genres that made An Jia Li think hard to decide whether or not to buy the novel entitled 'True Love From the Heart' by Xing Yi, which she still had in her hands.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to buy the book because he was curious about the story, "Okay, let's see how the romance genre is in this novel!" An Jia Li muttered as she patted the hardcover of the novel she had bought. And for the first time, An Jia Li who has experienced the trauma of falling in love buys a novel that has a romantic genre in it even though most of it is still a fantasy genre.

I don't know what fate planned, she then met Zhang Jiang Yi because of his company. Jiang Yi is a handsome young doctor. He is also a doctor who is friendly and smiling, so he is very well known in the hospital, especially by patients who like Jiang Yi's figure. And because of his figure, An Jia Li's parents also paid attention to Jiang Yi who was also one of the doctors who worked at their hospital.

Until finally, An Jia Li's parents decided to make an arranged marriage and engagement for their daughter with Jiang Yi.

In the midst of their match, fate is so good at knitting threads. An Jia Li was also met with the figure of Zhang Chunyin who was none other than Jiang Yi's younger brother. They met in a bookstore when they were about to pick up the same book. It turned out that they had the same taste in books and eventually became close friends. Before they knew it, they had already harbored feelings for each other. Just like the emperor Feng figure with the royal servant Xiang Lian.

***

Everyone wants to have a life partner once in a lifetime, even though there must be loss, they hope there is a second chance to meet and love each other again in any world. Two lives and one true love that lasts forever.

A true love story will last forever for those who write it with heart.

"What is true love?"

Unfortunately, for someone who no longer believes in the word love. An Jia Li didn't understand that. Right now, she can only think that love is just a real fantasy, and people who fall in love are actually just imagining things that aren't real.
