After the fall of lotus pier JFM wakes up back in his younger body. He is the young heir of YMJ again. WCZ and CSSR already left, he lacks influence and his family starts suggesting marriage. But this time around he knows exactly what is to come and sets out to overcome the incoming struggle. He seeks out other cultivators and heirs to gain more influence for the future. To get ahead of Yu Clan persuasion he arranges to find another marriage match behind his family's back. And he succeeds. 1/6
Soon he becomes leader of the most thriving sect. He gains fame for aiding others before things get out of hand. He has more allies and connections than before, his relationship with Madam Jiang is full of mutual respect and Lotus Pier grows stronger under her care. His children are happy, well adjusted, don't doubt their parents' love, respect YMJ teachings and his advice. 2/6
He can't change everything. Despite the warnings, his friends perish again. This time their son finds a place in his family as a child of his sworn brother. There is no one doubting his faithfulness, his wife supports honoring his friend's memory with her whole heart. After this he puts even more work into his plans. He knows what will happen and when time comes he is going to be ready. The time comes too soon. 3/6
YZY would never settle lower than one of the great five sects. She marries into the Wen ruling family. Hearing about JFM's successful marriage brings out the worst in her. She spits hate about these that should be taken to heel, showed their place and taught a lesson about bowing to their betters. She questions how such a clan can put itself before those of better heritage. She fuels the gossip about Jiang striving to take Wen's rightful place in the cultivation world. 4/6
Strong and growing YMJ is a sore spot in the eye of WRH so he encourages her bloodthirst. YZY puts fear in whoever she can, threatens and leverages her clan connections whenever she can. All to spite JFM. She promises Jin’s submission to WRH for giving her free rein of his forces. She ensures through her closest friend Madam Jin, that Jins and smaller sects under them will not go against her plans. Then she brings the Wen army to the YMJ long before JFM expected.5/6
JFM stands again on the same battlefield, with the same woman, just like in the previous life. Only this time around with swords pointed at each other. 6/6
