Single love interest Yuri!
---
After failing to ascend to the heights of Divinity despite all her preparations, an ancient cultivator finds herself not embracing the emptiness of the void - but the interior warmth of a womb. Reborn into a new life, with her memories intact - she carefully starts over from an infant.

- Navigating her new family:
[Really easy with only two parents and an estate full of servants!]
- How to portray herself:
[Everyone likes 'sweet' kids and trusts (underestimates) 'weak' girls! That should be most fun~]
- Showing off the power she gathers:
[This region is a 'backwater', but who knows what is out there - let's just take it slow~]
- Marriage arranged before birth:
[Mm... my parents adore me so at an appropriate time I'll just have it cancel- oh?] 
- Dealing with 'amusing' deceit:
[Cute. 'He' looks worried still, but 'he' doesn't have to worry from me!]
- Confronting the 'son' in private:
[Whatever your family's iffy plan is, I just obtained a husband-wife~]

Even in this new life, [Elua er Goltbred] can't and doesn't *want* to change who she really is at the deepest level. A scheming cultivator. A possessive lover. Neither of those things had been a real hindrance to the Peak of Demi-God.
 
Balancing the two traits in this life - without driving away the young 'boy' she decided to support and be supported by when they both came of age - centers as much around helping [Qatrand er Yecine] find herself within who her family has made of her...
As it is hoping to ease the dear fiance into how messed up the (ancient) girl honestly is.

With her Astralism unchanged despite reincarnation... she can improvise plenty with her ridiculous control of Illusions and more. Which is a good thing - because plans fail and unexpected things happen when you're not *really* a genius just because you know more than others.

Unexpected things... like her Physique in this life allowing the lightest 'grip' to crack stone...

Despite being a little stunted by her family environment early on, [Qat] finds her future wife to be 'cute' on their first meeting... but she really shouldn't have let on and said it out loud.
It made her [El] kind of vain - and kind of want to remain as cute as can be for her future spouse!

Oh, and *muscles*.
[Elua]: I just like looking at them, okay!? Is it so weird? People can have hobbies...

Potential trigger warnings:
> A reincarnator MC that gets a little 'thirsty' a little 'young' but successfully tries to 'keep her own pants on' until the proper age, because she knows it's better for her intended partner that way.
> A toxic family environment willing to force an unloved child into the role of a crossdresser. A child that grew more than okay with it. She likes wearing the aesthetics of men's suits!
> 'Pretty Good Dad' intentionally *picked on* by his 'sweet daughter', all for being a relatively 'minor obstacle'. Seriously, you were warned, average fathers with teenagers. Do not engage your trauma.

Aleck had stopped counting out the number of his defeats around day twelve… and started counting up his improvements instead. Scrambling, desperate struggles that kept ending in minutes with his face buried in Magnetic sand until he could fight again wasn't what he wanted to focus on. Even barely understanding how to draw in essence into his field in this location, he was *almost* forced to learn while unconscious. And he could feel his own Element control strengthening because of it.
