After coming down from the mountain, Ling Xiao, the personal disciple of a Ninth-Rank Medical Venerable, settled down, started a family, opened a pet clinic, and married Liu Yan. At first, he thought this place was a garden, a road, a home. Years later, exhausted and battered from trying to treat his wife’s terminal bone cancer, he finally managed to make a miraculous medicine. But his wife smashed it to pieces and mocked him, then gave the only 880,000 yuan the family had to her younger brother as a bride price. That was when he realized this place was a calamity, a trap, an abyss.
Looking back, he suddenly saw that nothing had changed. The world hadn’t changed, and neither had he. It was only the glasses that had always shown him a fairy-tale world that were gone. A brand-new, real world now stood before him. Ling Xiao would never fall in love with this world, but he could love the new person he had become. As the world behind him shattered, he turned away without looking back from the illusion called happiness. He overcame his fear of losing what he once held dear and began rebuilding on the ruins. In the end, the rubble he no longer needed became the steps that carried him to the top.
This book includes plenty of reflections on real-life relationships and worldly wisdom, as well as insights gained from learning from a master. I hope they can be of some help to readers. If you think I’m right, please support the book. If you think I’m wrong, then consider it nonsense.
