The Myth of a Short-Lived Immortal

His father died, his mother passed away, and he and his sister depended on each other, knowing nothing of the world's secrets.

He struggled to survive through decades of hardship, never finding his chance, and now his life is nearing its end.

Huang Cheng was an innocent young man with a pure heart and compassion for all, the sort of person everyone called a "saint." But fate's merciless wheel crushed him underfoot. One blow after another, he lost his loved ones in succession, and the cruel reality trampled his kindness again and again.

Throughout the long years of struggle and hardship, Huang Cheng held on alone. His sister was his only reason to keep going. He struggled in the darkness, but fate never showed him mercy. Every shattered hope cut like a blade, carving another wound into his heart, until the goodness in him grew ever more fragile.

When even his last hope of survival was on the verge of collapse, Huang Cheng finally succumbed to darkness in his despair. He stopped repressing his desires and stopped caring what the world thought. He chose to become a monster rather than remain a man. From then on, "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me" became his guiding principle. Those who followed him would enjoy wealth and glory; those who opposed him would meet only ruin. In his own way, he would carve a path through this cruel world.
