After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

Throughout the long years, Fifth Shushuang always guarded that small courtyard alone.

One year, two years, ten years, or a hundred years that pass in the blink of an eye.

Fangzhou City has been transformed by the passage of time, and its prosperity is even greater than before. Only that small courtyard remains unchanged from a hundred years ago.

The people in the city ignored this place when they passed by. In their eyes, it was just a desolate open space with no trace of any mansion.

This is merely a deliberate cover-up by the Fifth Book of World Will.

She holds the laws of birth and death in this world; with a single thought, she can shatter mountains and rivers, and with another, she can reshape the universe.

Even with the power to overturn the world, she could never rebuild that person's image on the ruins of her heart.

Nowadays, neither the prominent figures in the cultivation world nor the ordinary people in the mortal realm know of her existence.

Only a rusty, dulled longsword still remembers the obsession that once existed in this world, a belief known as "Fifth Book Twin".

It was deep winter in Fangzhou City, and snow had fallen from the sky, covering the long streets.

Few pedestrians walked through the snow-covered landscape, their hurried steps quickly swallowed up by the swirling snowflakes.

In a short while, only the desolate snowflakes continued to fall, and there was no one left on the long street.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps treading on snow, like shattered jade, came from afar.

Deep within the snow-covered landscape, a figure strode through the cold.

The newcomer was dressed in a plain white robe, blending seamlessly with the falling snow. Only her exquisite face was faintly visible in the wind and snow, her brows furrowed with an unyielding sorrow.

She stood quietly in the snow, letting snowflakes adorn her hair, and finally stopped in front of that secluded little courtyard.

Gazing at the vermilion gate that has never faded from her memory, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if ice and snow were melting in her eyes.

Just then, the tightly closed courtyard gate creaked open and slowly opened to both sides in the wind and snow, revealing the mottled bluestone slabs inside the courtyard, as well as everything etched in my memory.

She gently lifted her foot and slowly stepped into the courtyard.

The moment she stepped inside, all the memories of this place rushed towards her like a raging tide.

Those past experiences, whether joyful or sorrowful, warm or painful, flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

A mist rose in her beautiful eyes, and two clear tears fell, melting the snow that filled the courtyard.

Not far in front of her, a woman appeared out of nowhere.

The woman, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, stood under the eaves, gazing at her silently.

"You've arrived."

The woman in the red wedding dress spoke softly.

This person was none other than Fifth Book Shuang.

Standing in the snow, dressed in simple white, was Shen Xuejian.

With the help of the Fifth Book Double, Shen Xuejian regained control of her body from the Sword Tomb.

Now, she has long since lost her sharp edge, with only a hint of melancholy lingering in the corners of her eyes.

A century has passed, and in the end, two solitary figures have been formed in the flow of time.

One is trapped in memories, the other walks alone in seclusion.

And now, they reunite in the courtyard of a hundred years ago, with snow still clinging to the eaves, as if they were meeting for the first time.

"Um."

Shen Xuejian responded softly, her voice falling into the snow, startling the icicles under the eaves into a slight tremor.

Both remained silent, only the wind and snow swept through the hall, stirring up old memories on the ground.

As Shen Xuejian gazed at the snow-covered bluestone slabs in the courtyard, she seemed to see herself again, standing in the snow with a sword a hundred years ago.

Now, the sword is long gone from his palm, leaving only an unyielding obsession.

"How have you been all these years?"

Shen Xuejian's thoughts suddenly came to a stop, and she spoke softly.

Fifth Book lowered his eyes and replied softly, "It's alright."

The moment the words left his mouth, a self-deprecating sneer rose in his heart.

A long silence fell over the air.

Shen Xuejian was not good with words to begin with. Her fingertips clenched the folds of her sleeves, and a thousand words rolled through her throat, but in the end, they turned into a barely audible sigh.

If it weren't for that almost obsessive conviction in her heart, how could she have returned here again?

"Have you heard from him all these years?"

After a long while, her voice trembled slightly.

She also knew that Shen Shuchou might not have really died, but had left this world.

The fifth book's pupils flickered slightly, then it shook its head.

Shen Xuejian's heart clenched suddenly, her fingertips digging into her palms: "With your current abilities, haven't you ever thought of looking for him?"

"I've thought about it!"

The fifth book is a double-return passage.

"Then why not go?"

Shen Xuejian stared intently at her profile.

Fifth Book lowered his eyes, gazing at the snow-covered ground, and a sigh escaped his lips: "I don't know how to find it."

With her current strength, it wouldn't be difficult for her to step out of this world and search for Shen Shuchou's whereabouts.

However, over the past century, she has never had the thought of setting out.

It was by no means that she didn't miss Shen Shuchou; on the contrary, that longing was like a strong, aged liquor, growing stronger and stronger in her heart.

However, deep down she wanted to stay in this small courtyard that held countless memories, as if staying here would bring her closer to Shen Shuchou.

Shen Xuejian stared at her, her mind clear as a mirror, fully understanding Fifth Shushuang's current state of mind and situation.

She walked gently to Fifth Book Shuang and said earnestly, "You shouldn't be trapped here by this obsession."

"Obsession!"

Upon hearing this word, Wu Shushuang involuntarily murmured it to himself.

Shen Xuejian continued, "You should leave this place, and with that obsession in your heart, try your best to find him."

She paused, then added, "I think if it were Qinghan, she would have left this place long ago and embarked on her search."

The moment Shen Xuejian finished speaking, the incessant sneer in Fifth Shushuang's heart suddenly stopped.

"You have long been trapped here in a cocoon woven from your obsessions, and today I will be the sword that breaks free from that cocoon."

Before Shen Xuejian could finish speaking, a cyan sword light suddenly rose around her.

The sword's cry, like a dragon's roar, ripped through the sky, causing the snow piled on the eaves to hang suspended in mid-air, turning into countless ice crystals that remained frozen in time.

The Fifth Book's pupils reflected the sword light, and suddenly he saw countless images flashing back in the sword light.

She saw her own naive and clueless self when she first came to this little courtyard.

She saw him, the one who always wore a warm smile, the one who haunted her dreams.

She saw the kind and compassionate Queen Mother who had given her countless acts of care.

They also saw Shen Xuejian, who had once stood with a sword in hand, her expression aloof and cold.

These people all smiled at Fifth Book Double, but then transformed into a photon that formed an invisible sword that slashed at her.

Just then, Fifth Shushuang felt as if a long-stretched string within her body snapped quietly with a "pop".

As the sword's edge faded, Shen Xuejian's fingertips trembled slightly, and a hint of weariness appeared on her face: "Let's go, let's find him, take your obsession with you, and don't let yourself be trapped in this world any longer."

Looking at her graying temples, Fifth Shu Shuang suddenly understood the bitterness beneath that smile.

The sword light cleaved not only their obsessions, but also the cocoon they had woven together.

She was trapped in waiting, while Shen Xuejian was trapped in fulfilling her wish.

"And you?"

Her question was torn in two by the wind.

Shen Xuejian caught a piece of snow: "I will guard this old dream for you, until you find him..."

After a brief pause, she urged him, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Let's hurry up and go! If we're late, your Shen Shuchou might be snatched away by someone else. I only have eyes for you as my sister-in-law."

Fifth Shu Shuang paused slightly, gazing at Shen Xuejian's stunningly beautiful face. After a moment of silence, she said sincerely, "Thank you! I will definitely find him."

Without further hesitation, she resolutely stepped out of the courtyard that had been guarded for a hundred years, and in an instant, her figure disappeared into the swirling snow.

Watching the figure of Fifth Shu Shuang gradually disappear into the distance, Shen Xuejian felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

Then, she slowly extended her five fingers and gently grasped at the falling snow. A long sword formed from crystalline snowflakes appeared in her hand.

She slowly turned around and began to wield her long sword amidst the pure white snow.

With each strike, sword flowers danced in the air, as if carrying the unspeakable obsession in her heart.

Each swing of the sword seemed to express the surging longing in her heart.

Each flash of the sword represents her deepest longing for the unknown.

After a long while, Shen Xue saw the sword tip turn around, and the blade in her hand gradually turned into snow mist, slowly dissipating in her palm.

At this moment, her once stunningly beautiful face was now blurred with tears.

She successfully broke the shackles that bound Fifth Book Shuang, but who could break the equally heavy shackles in her heart?

At this moment, Fifth Shu Shuang had already stepped out of the world she was in and found herself in the vast and boundless star field.

The glittering stars, like tiny gems, are inlaid in the inky sky.

Just as she was preparing to set off again to explore the unknown, an extremely strong energy fluctuation suddenly erupted in the distance.

This wave, like a raging tsunami, swept in with overwhelming force, dimming the light of the stars wherever it passed.

Fifth Shu Shuang's gaze sharpened instantly as he stared intently at the source of the fluctuations.

In the distant starry sky, a blurry human figure slowly emerged.

As the figure gradually became clearer, she could see what the newcomer looked like.

The person was petite and delicate, with a head of eerie purple hair flying wildly. She stood amidst the shattered star trails, her body wrapped in jet-black chains.

Her face was extremely charming, with exquisite features, yet there was a chilling eeriness about her eyes and brows.

Although the two seemed to be separated by only a short distance.

However, in reality, this short spatial span actually crosses several star systems.

The purple-haired woman seemed to have also noticed Fifth Shushuang's presence. She slowly turned her eerie eyes and coldly glanced in Fifth Shushuang's direction.

That gaze was as cold as a physical object, as if it could penetrate layers of space and reach straight to the heart.

However, in just a moment, she vanished like a ghost, leaving behind only a void slightly distorted by energy fluctuations.

"Hehe... Sister, she seems to really want to kill you."

Just then, a playful yet slightly mocking voice suddenly rang out in Fifth Book Shuang's heart.

Without a doubt, the voice came from Fifth Qinghan.

Fifth Shu Shuang ignored Fifth Qing Han's teasing. Her expression was solemn, her eyes fixed on one direction. Then, she moved like lightning, transforming into a streak of light and quickly disappearing into the dazzling starlight of this star field in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, the girl with eerie purple hair and black chains wrapped around her body murmured to herself after concealing herself, "Strange, she seems to have the aura of a Dao Lord."

P.S.: Let me just say a few words!

The fifth incarnation marks the true end here!

The most important thing to say is why I stopped updating. The biggest reason is probably being put in the dark room!

The two times I was in the dark room made me feel really bad, and I had no idea what to do.

I felt like giving up, but I couldn't bear to. So I started a new book on the same subject, wanting to make it more complete.

But many people like it, and I understand how you feel. After thinking it over, I've decided to come back and continue writing.

I've always thought I write terribly, and I'm not some kind of genius, especially the latter half of this fifth life. I lost the train of thought I had before I stopped writing, and it's all a mess.

I don't care about data usage anymore. I'm a lazy bum, and my mental state is often not good.

My mind often goes blank, sigh!

The deleted parts haven't been added yet. It's not that they don't want to add them, but rather that even if they were, they'd be blacklisted again.

In short, as a lazy author who doesn't write well, I'm truly grateful that people still enjoy reading my work.

Just one chapter today! The real world will be revealed tomorrow.

I'll guide
