The Leader of the Rebellion

The opening sixteen words of the sutra penetrated my soul like thunder, overturning my knowledge for half my life: Heaven and earth steal love, and heaven raises thieves. Those who follow heaven are slaves, those who go against oneself are immortals. Since then, I have known the biggest lie in the world. From then on, I abandoned the Shuntian Avenue and entered the eternal silence. ... My name is Su Ji. Three years ago, I didn't understand this. At that time, I still had a family - the Su family in Qinglan Territory. The Su family has cultivated their moral character from generation to generation, abided by etiquette and laws, respected the way of heaven, upheld orthodoxy, and respected the sect. Generation after generation they practiced obedience to heaven and the righteous Dharma, and never once did they disobey in the slightest. But meekness cannot buy compassion, and obedience cannot guarantee survival. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
