The Lands Of Immortality

The rain poured relentlessly, a silent deluge that kept even the bravest indoors. Yet, a young girl, clad in a pale blue robe embroidered with silver threads, walked slowly through the downpour. Not a single drop touched her, nor did a speck of mud mar her pristine attire. Her face, though pale, held features of striking beauty: curvy eyebrows, red lips, and white teeth, hinting at a pampered upbringing. But she was not of this world, nor truly alive. She was a wandering spirit, a third-rate actress from another life, twice dead, with only fragmented memories of her past.

Suddenly, the rain ceased, and a clang of metal echoed in the quiet night. Curiosity, a remnant of her former life, pulled her towards the sound. She moved silently, for she knew no one could see or hear her. What she found was not a grand battle, but a one-sided defeat: a middle-aged man with a saber, bested by a gently smiling young man in black. The young man, Li Cheng Yue, the City Lord's son, was accused of a heinous crime. As the drama unfolded, a cold, elegant voice spoke from beside her, “...I'm just a passerby. By the way, are you a ghost?” She turned, startled, to find a handsome young man in a red robe, two small moles beneath his eye, looking directly at her.
