At this moment, Yu Ling'er's will was on the verge of collapse. She had seen everything, all of it. It turned out that all along, it was her who misunderstood and despised Ye Xuan. But Ye Xuan had always been silently sacrificing for her… No, it wasn't just silent sacrifice. He also hoped for even a little response from her, some acknowledgment. But she never trusted him.
Even at the moment of her rebirth, what she thought of was to kill him. The truth was about to be revealed, but she killed him right before its unveiling. She never gave him even the slightest thing he hoped for. Yu Ling'er, how can you ever repay what you owe Ye Xuan—!!!
Thinking about her cold words and actions towards the innocent Ye Xuan after her rebirth, Yu Ling'er wished she could be reborn again and kill herself. However, no matter how much she regretted, the scene in front of her continued to unfold.
"…" At this moment, Ye Xuan, pierced through by Yu Ling'er's sword, had already lost his life. Before his eyes, there was only darkness. Nothing else. It was over, everything was over.
"Silly child, was all this worth it?"
Just when Ye Xuan thought his life was ending, suddenly, a voice echoed in his ears. The voice caused Yu Ling'er, who was watching the scene, to change her expression. It was the voice of Beidou Star Lord.
"Who are you?!" Ye Xuan asked upon hearing the voice. "I am Beidou Star Lord, the deity who oversees all destinies," the voice replied.

"Oversees all destinies?" Ye Xuan's face showed bitterness: "Then you… haven't been fair to me… Why did I have to experience such a painful life… Although I willingly died for her… when her sword pierced my heart… it still hurt so much… I was able to expel the inner demon from my body, but I couldn't bear the cold and hateful look in her eyes, the pain of the sword piercing my heart…"
"…" Beidou Star Lord seemed to pause for a moment.Th.ê most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
In that moment of silence from Beidou Star Lord, Yu Ling'er felt as if her heart had stopped. Her sword had pierced the heart that loved her the most… All the pain he experienced in this life was caused by her.
"Beidou Star Lord, since you are the deity who oversees all destinies, why are you talking to me?" Ye Xuan curiously asked after a moment of silence.
"Because I noticed you. I was curious why you were willing to go to such lengths for Yu Ling'er, so I couldn't help but speak to you," Beidu Star Lord replied. "That's all."
"I… don't know… Perhaps… this is love," Ye Xuan responded.
"Is it? Willingly doing all this yet unable to explain why… indeed interesting," Beidou Star Lord continued. "Although I am known as the deity who controls all destinies, I am just an observer of fate. In reality, I rarely interfere in the destinies of ordinary people. Everyone's destiny is determined by the operation of the entire world, not by the will of a single deity. Otherwise, deities would be too busy. So, you don't have to feel that I've been unfair to you."
"Then I misunderstood you… sorry," Ye Xuan replied. He remained the sincere person he had always been, not becoming crazy or extreme despite being possessed by the inner demon for years.
"You don't need to apologize, I rarely intervene in the destinies of mortals, but since I have spoken, I must follow through. If you are unwilling, then I will let Yu Ling'er relive that day with the memories of this life. What do you think?" Beidou Xingjun asked.
"——!!!" Ye Xuan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Great Star God, are you really willing to let her be reborn?"
"Why are you so excited about her rebirth when you were unhappy about yours?" Beidou Xingjun inquired.

"My rebirth would just be reliving another life of pain, but her rebirth… she could change everything. She could save her parents and everyone else," Ye Xuan replied.
"But… she will kill you," Beidou Xingjun pointed out. "Because the misunderstanding between you two hasn't been resolved, in her eyes, you are still the person she hates most in her life."
"What does it matter——!!!" Ye Xuan exclaimed. "As long as she is happy… everything is fine, let her kill me."
"Ye Xuan… why… why, even at this moment, are you still thinking of me, why——!!!" Yu Ling'er wished she could appear before Ye Xuan to apologize, to admit her wrongs, to compensate him for everything she could. But she couldn't. She could only silently watch Ye Xuan, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Very well, as you wish." Beidou Xingjun said.
"Wait——!" Ye Xuan suddenly exclaimed as Beidou Xingjun was about to make everything happen anew.
"Do you regret it?" asked Beidou Xingjun.
"No…" Ye Xuan shook his head and said: "Great Star God, if you are omnipotent, could you please… make Yu Shou a true gentleman, not a despicable villain?"
"——!!!" Yu Ling'er's eyes widened in shock. What?! His final wish was to turn Yu Shou, that scoundrel, into a true gentleman?! Why?!
"Why?" Beidou Xingjun asked Ye Xuan. "Why do you wish to turn your most hated person into a true gentleman?"
"Because…" Ye Xuan said, "because… she doesn't know the truth… She likes the gentleman Yu Shou in her mind, not the… scoundrel I know."
"Then why don't you let me tell her the truth directly?" Beidou Xingjun suggested. "If I tell her the truth… maybe everything will change."
"No… She's a kind person. If she knew the truth, she would be very pained… very pained… Since she has a chance to be reborn, why should she suffer? Instead, let everything she knows become the truth. Let her know she wasn't wrong." Ye Xuan said, "Rather… let me become the person she should rightfully hate in her heart."
"——!!!" Hearing Ye Xuan's explanation, Yu Ling'er felt completely breathless. Her heart ached like never before. Ye Xuan had been hurt to this extent, yet he never thought of revenge, nor did he want her to know the truth.
He even wished to turn Yu Shou into a true gentleman, to make her happy, to prevent her from suffering. In comparison, what had she done?! Yu Ling'er, you… you're simply inhuman—!!! At this moment, her tears uncontrollably flowed down. Intense pain overwhelmed her will, almost causing her to faint.
