Cangyuan: All Things Thrive Through Cycles of Rise and Decline

Writing this for love of it. Please don't flame me if it's not your thing.

Some say he became City Lord Ge Xuan's pawn, ruthless and cruel. But who knows that he was once a boy who only wanted a peaceful life, protecting his younger sister?

After Ge Xuan struck, his sister died a cruel death. Paper figures deceived him, and a demon seed devoured his heart.

Forced to bury every last trace of tenderness deep in the abyss, he became the most obedient pawn.

His sister spent the last of her soul's power to keep him from losing his mind.

From then on, all he had was lonely courage and a life scarred by suffering.

Tang Xiyue transmigrated to another world to protect him from being used again,

to bring warmth to the half of his life in which no one had ever treated him kindly,

to fulfill the tenderness he and his sister never got to share,

and to free him from his shackles, giving him a peaceful life at last.

She made up for every regret in the vast world of Cang Yuan.

From then on,

the demon seed no longer devoured his heart, and the paper figures no longer preyed on his feelings.

The lonely figure had someone by his side, and a light waited to guide him home.

Ji Yuantong's deepest regret was finally made whole.
