In his past life, Lu Ye, the Nine-Lives Celestial Lord, was envied by all—not only for his rare gift of nine lives but also for having eight peerless empresses by his side. But who would have imagined that just as he was about to ascend as a Heavenly Dao Saint, those very empresses would strike him down together, shattering his ambitions in an instant? The Nine Heavens Sword Maiden: "For years, I was known only as your sword servant. I am the Lord of the Nine Heavens Sword, not a shadow of your glory. Lu Ye, you deserve to die!" The Red Lotus Fairy: "Senior Brother, if not for you, I could have lived an immortal life with him. I don’t care for immortality—I only wanted him!" The Vermilion Bird Demon Emperor: "You slaughtered my kin under the guise of protection. The one who harmed me most... was always you!" But fate had other plans. Time rewound, and the eight empresses returned to the past with full knowledge of their betrayal. They were free—free to pursue their own desires without him. Yet this time, Lu Ye had learned his lesson. If the melon is forcibly twisted, it won’t be sweet. So, he decides not to twist it anymore. Now, he wants to see how these women will live their stunning lives without him!

Cigarette smoke curls in the stagnant air, the dim glow of a dying bulb casting twisted shadows against the walls littered with half-torn articles and red-thread connections. Somewhere between the ink-stained papers and the scattered pills, a man sits—silent, unmoving, staring blankly at a stuffed monkey in a clown suit. A detective, they call him. A man of justice, a solver of mysteries. But behind the applause and empty praises, behind the sharp smiles and hollow congratulations, he is nothing but a walking contradiction—one hand holding a case file, the other exchanging cash for little plastic sachets. His mind is a labyrinth of voices, whispers that coil around his thoughts like suffocating vines. His brother grins at him from the corners of his vision, eyes glinting with the truth he refuses to face. His father’s voice is gentle, forgiving—too forgiving. Too much for a man who doesn’t deserve it. Each pill swallowed is another step into the illusion, another moment of stolen happiness before the weight of reality drags him under. He walks the city streets, drowning in faces that admire him, loathe him, see him as something he is not. He is both a hero and a villain, a detective and a criminal, a man trying to outrun the past while shackled to its corpse. And at the end of the night, when the echoes of the world fall away, all that remains is the darkness, the whispers, and the suffocating truth—he can never escape them.

Good luck. P.S: No. No, I don't believe you will be able handle. That's a f*cking rank 19 mate! F*cking 19!!! And it can **** us all without— Er, you what? Nevermind.
