The Way of Xuan Zhen

An Eastern fantasy novel. The male lead, Cheng Xiao, is pushed to the brink countless times by other painters, suffers the destruction of his entire family, and is betrayed by the person he loves. Cheng Xiao leaves everyone with these words:

"The wind grows fiercer as it enters a narrow pass, and the river bolder as it crosses a gorge. What does it matter if I am trapped in a desperate situation? I'll weather the storms in my straw rain cape and live as I please!

When water reaches its end, it becomes a sight to behold. When a person reaches the end of the road, they are reborn!"

A young man, too, should seek his own path to truth.
