Tian Xing walked slowly, without any specific aim. She knew she would find civilisation in one way or another.

Tian Xing, as she walked, felt somewhat strange.

All of this was very familiar to her.

There was one single pattern in this whole thing.

She would wake up after death, find herself in another world, presumably in a place that is not usually inhabited by humans, find civilisation, find out the world she is in, help the people she wants to, and afterwards, die. And the cycle repeats.

'Is there some sort of purpose in this? What exactly am I here, no, in these worlds for? It's as if I am being sent in these worlds just to prevent the tragedies of these worlds' characters from happening.'

Of course, she couldn't help everyone, but she did help those she knew would suffer.

Why?

Because that's what she wanted to do. Help. When there's the chance to. Especially knowing what is going to happen if she doesn't.

Even in her life as Rubi, when she read these novels, she felt a deep desire to keep the people she saw suffer through, safe under her own cover.

It was because when she needed it herself, no one was there for her.

But some part of Tian Xing wished for some solace as well.

One of the other important things was, she was a demon. Her demonic energy and spiritual energy was in coexistence. Which was rather weird, because in natural cases, one would Qi deviate in such a state.

As she walked, Tian Xing realised she was actually walking up, meaning this was a mountain.

'Huh? Well that's new. I have never ended up in a mountain before.'

As she walked, she saw a house. And this house, it can be classified as a small manor, it was pretty well made.

As she walked towards to find some clue of where to get to the nearest civilisation, she saw a very familiar figure sitting on the veranda of the manor.

The person wore white clothes, had his hair styled sophisticatedly and was drinking some wine. He had a sword with him, had an exceptional build, signifying he was a very good martial artist.

It was Ye Baiyi.

'Holy shit. I ended up in the world of...wait, is it Faraway Wanderers or Word of Honour?'

Faraway Wanderers was a famous Danmei novel written by Priest in Tian Xing's lifetime as Rubi. Priest had written several novels and was a famous Danmei novel writer in the Danmei community and among Danmei novelists.

While Word of Honour was a live action adaptation of the same novel, a large portion of the story, many of the characters' behaviours, the plot progression and even the existence of characters and their roles were different.

All in all, Word of Honour was practically a different story with many of characters of Faraway Wanderers and some characters exclusive to the drama. It could be considered as an alternate universe of Faraway Wanderers, where many things happen vastly different from the novel.

Usually, Tian Xing didn't like the changes of the live action adaptation of Chinese Danmei novels, because they were largely tweaked in many places for no reason and she rather liked the original plot more. But Word of Honour was the only live action adaptation of a Danmei novel that she preferred more than the novel itself. From the characters to the story and plot, she liked the live adaptation a lot.
