Ikigai

[ik-ee-guy] ° Japanese ° noun

A reason for being; having a sense of purpose in life and a feeling of well-being.

Severus Snape was tired.

He was tired of the constant bullying and the abuse he suffered through his fathers and classmates' hands. He was tired that no one would help him. He was tired of being used.

When he comes home after his fifth year from Hogwarts and finds out that his mother died, he gets summoned by Gringotts and finds out that his soulmates are none other than James Potter and Sirius Black. In his despair he kills himself.

When he dies he is met by death, who gives him a choice, travel to the past and be reincarnated as Zhang Qiling and find his Soulmate, who would do anything for him or go into the afterlife.

Severus who desperately wants someone to love him, care for him and wants someone to protect him, accepts the offer of Death and travels back to November 1890, where he is born to a woman named Bai Ma.

His new life isn't any different from his past life. He lives over a hundred years, without a connection to the world, without a Soulmate, that is until he meets Wu Xie. A naive, yet kind man and he instantly falls in love with him.

What will happen if he finds himself a few years after the dark and abyssal underground palace in the faint peach blossom forest in the Great Hall of Hogwarts to watch his and Wu Xies life?
