The Peacock's Recursion

Lin Qingyuan survived his own murder.Then he survived it again. He awakens in a dying body during a poisoned wedding ceremony, a stranger in a sect where reputation is cultivated as carefully as power—and where talent without the right backing is eliminated. Lin carries a secret: the ability to reset time. Once each week, he can return to the beginning of a day. But if he truly dies, the year itself resets, stripping away his hard-won progress. In the Peacock Sect, cultivation is the architecture of the soul. Lin begins with structure. To survive, he must navigate a court of shifting allegiances, master the deeper rules of cultivation, and decide how visible he is willing to become in a game where every gesture carries weight. Progression fantasy with cultivation, time recursion, political intrigue, and slow-burn relationships. Book 1 Complete
