After I Died My Dao Companion Drowns in Endless Regret

Wei Yunshu constantly toiled for the Cloud Sect. Yet, those hypocritical individuals called her the Cloud Sovereign in public, fearing and respecting her, but behind her back, they believed her origins were lowly and that she was unfit to rule. Some wanted to seize her sovereign position, others to strip her immortal bones, and even her Dao Companion, whom she cherished, valued, loved, and respected, wanted her dead. This was a marriage she had stubbornly insisted upon in the past, and even the heavens were unwilling to grant her fulfilment. What was owed, would eventually be repaid. … That year, Luo Lingfeng walked out of the Luoshui Divine Palace and became the Cloud Sovereign’s consort. For her, this was not glory, but endless humiliation. Her original fiancé tore up their engagement because of this, and her usually gentle father turned ruthless. In this transaction, no one asked for her opinion. Later, the Luoshui Palace crumbled. Then she successfully replaced Wei Yunshu, becoming the true leader of the Cloud Sect. Finally, she watched Wei Yunshu leap into the Abyssal Vortex, her soul scattered. She thought she would be overjoyed at having avenged her great hatred, but unexpectedly, her heart turned to ashes. Wei Yunshu told her not to hate, but if she didn’t hate, where would she find meaning in her existence? … Three years after her soul clung to vegetation. Wei Yunshu walked out of the Abyssal Vortex. From then on, there was no Cloud Sovereign in the world, only a carefree wanderer named Bo Fengliu, riding a donkey and holding a whisk, traveling across the lands.

## My Thoughts on After I Died My Dao Companion Drowns in Endless Regret ### First Impressions Okay, so "After I Died My Dao Companion Drowns in Endless Regret" definitely grabbed my attention with that title. It screams drama, and I was here for it. The premise of a wronged female protagonist and a regretful yuri pairing? Sign me up! Diving in, I found a xianxia world ripe with political intrigue, hidden identities, and a good dose of martial arts action. The initial chapters set the stage well, hinting at the complex history between our main characters and the events that led to the MC's demise. ### What Works Well One of the strongest aspects of this novel, in my opinion, is the intricate backstory. The childhood connection between the MC and her Dao companion adds a layer of depth and makes their current predicament all the more compelling. The author does a solid job of building the world and its cultivation system, making it easy to get invested in the journey. I also appreciated the calm demeanor of the protagonist, even in the face of betrayal. It's a refreshing change from the often hot-headed leads we see in this genre. The focus on the past and how it shapes the present really elevates the story beyond a simple revenge plot. I also love the fact that the MC isn't portrayed as some innocent Mary Sue. She's flawed, and those flaws contribute to the overall narrative in a meaningful way. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the novel overall, I do have a few minor reservations. At times, the pacing felt a bit uneven, with some sections dragging while others rushed by. Additionally, while the misunderstandings between the characters drive the plot, they occasionally felt a bit contrived. I think a little more nuance in their interactions could have strengthened the emotional impact. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, so this is where I touch on some potentially spoiler-y territory. The reason behind the Dao companion's actions is revealed to be far more complex than simple betrayal. She was manipulated and essentially brainwashed by her own father to steal the MC's "Heart of Saint." This revelation adds a tragic layer to their relationship, but it also raises questions about agency and responsibility. While I appreciate the attempt to humanize the Dao companion, it's crucial to remember that her actions still had consequences. ### Final Verdict Overall, I found "After I Died My Dao Companion Drowns in Endless Regret" to be a worthwhile read. It's a well-crafted xianxia story with a compelling premise, interesting characters, and a healthy dose of drama. While it's not without its flaws, the strengths of the novel far outweigh the weaknesses. If you're a fan of the genre and enjoy stories with complex relationships and political intrigue, I definitely recommend giving this one a try. I'm eager to see where the story goes as the translation progresses!
