Five hundred years ago, a young immortal looked at the boy before her, her gaze one part pride, three parts shyness, and six parts disdain. “A mere mortal is but a ripple in the pond of our endless path to immortality. Very well, I'll graciously indulge you and help you while away this dull, leisurely time.” Five hundred years later, before his ashes. “W-Wow, why did you have to go and do something so foolish? I don't want to live anymore!” ... Immortals and demons have been at odds since ancient times. But the boy was merely a mortal with no talent, destined to live for no more than a hundred years. How could he spend centuries by his beloved's side? Only by falling into demonic cultivation could he train and remain beside the immortal maiden. Now that his demonic cultivation has been exposed, the maiden is so furious that she has decided to sever their ties. Gu Changqing can only give up his cultivation in hopes of earning her forgiveness, but just then, his life quietly begins to flicker like a candle in the wind. Someday, she might be willing to see him one last time, but by then, he will already be gone. Perhaps the last thing he can do for her is leave behind the paper he folded for her five hundred years ago, along with the story he told her back then.
