Courting Death
Blue Moon 13
Martin Zheng dies saving a child and wakes in the embrace of Thanara, Death herself. Sent back as a cosmic error, he is reborn as Mingxuan in the Elemental Realm — a xianxia world of sword-saints, rival immortal-seeking sects, and death-measured power — where he cultivates the forbidden Dao of Death in a slow-burn, gradual-progression quest to stand beside the woman no one dares to love.
Progression: Xianxia cultivation progression (Royal Road Progression + Cultivation + Wuxia tags): reincarnation into the Elemental Realm where rival sects chase immortality through cultivation; protagonist walks the forbidden Dao of Death — a cultivation path built on mastering endings/death-aspected power. Self-described gradual progression; power explicitly measured and ranked (measured in the lives you can end). Verified from Royal Road tags and series synopsis JSON-LD.
