Master, Are You Trying to Die Again Today?

[Republican-era romance + tragic ending + unrequited love + duty to country + political intrigue]

My name is Luo Changsheng. I’ve lived for hundreds of years, and I can’t die.

A Taoist priest once told me, “Your immortality will end when you meet someone with a red crescent birthmark behind their ear.”

I searched for a hundred years and found an eight-year-old boy. I saved him, raised him, and taught him martial arts.

I try to die every day. He saves me every day, but he never asks why I want to die.

He doesn’t know that the red crescent behind his ear is the death I’ve waited a hundred years for.

In the turbulent Republic era, Han Zhou City is beset by internal strife and foreign threats, with the Americans, Japanese, and Germans all watching closely.

I thought my heart had long since died and could never beat again.

But just as I finally want to live for him, fate tells me that the time has come.

He will never be able to wake his master again.
