    For five hundred years, Liu Zhezhi, wielding only a sword, guarded the common people. The righteous path lacked capable men; no one told him it was his responsibility. Everyone took it for granted, but who ever asked if he was tired? Just because he didn't complete his tasks, the system took away all his cultivation, and he was betrayed by his sect. When he was at the height of his glory, they flattered him; when he suffered the five signs of decline, they looked at him with disdain. Liu Zhezhi found Mo Yan and casually offered to refine Mo Yan himself to aid his cultivation. He had long lost the will to live. His entire life was bound by the word "common people." Ten thousand years ago, he was a revered god, willing to sacrifice his cultivation to save the common people, only to be tricked by the Heavenly Dao and fall into the cycle of reincarnation to experience the tribulations of love. He was tormented time and again until his heart was devoid of any emotion, a deathly stillness. Returning to the divine realm, he had loving elder brothers, elder sisters, and a Daoist partner. He could have lived a carefree and joyful life. Who bound him to the divine throne? Waaaaah, my little bitter gourd with broken willow branches! [Crying][crying] Don't be afraid, there will be plenty of people who love you from now on. We will let you know that the world has been worthy of you. [Almost crying][almost crying]

    ① Because he was "naive," he caused his parents' deaths, and his family hated him [sad]. Later, he became very sensible; he didn't even say anything when he broke his leg. His family was very upset, blaming him for abusing him, yet still showing a little bit of tenderness. It was infuriating. ② Because he loved him, he was willing to give everything [almost crying], but he was hurt and misunderstood. The beginning was particularly heartbreaking, but the later part was quite sweet. ② And ③ are by the same author and are both quite good.
