   Stop looking, this is it! "I'm just an ordinary person. I get tired, scared, and helpless too." "A friend who trusted me died before my eyes." "I know the whole truth, but I can't do anything about it." "I..." A withered leaf twirled down. Sang Nian picked it up, gazing at its veins, and said blankly, "I want to go home." Suddenly, her eyes reddened, and she sobbed, "I want to go home." A gentle reminder: this is an ensemble piece, and it's a bit angsty.

   Beautiful. Shen Mingchao was born on a snowy night, a quarter of an hour after his twin brother. Just a quarter of an hour, yet their fates diverged so drastically. The Zhou royal family traditionally considered twins unlucky, and following past custom, he was placed outside in the snow. If nothing unexpected happened, he would freeze to death in the cold night, thus absolving anyone of the guilt of killing him. It was simply because the weather was too cold. Inside the warm room, the Empress, having just given birth, held her swaddled infant and couldn't help but glance out the window. Just a glance. "It's his bad luck," she murmured, wiping away tears, "that he and his brother were born into my womb together." In her arms, the swaddled child had just finished nursing and was sleeping soundly. Outside, in the snow, Prince Shen cried his heart out. As dawn approached, the crying gradually subsided. Palace servants prepared a small coffin and went to prepare his body. The infant's face was blue with cold, but he remained quiet, seemingly asleep. A palace maid bent down to pick him up, about to place him in the coffin, when a small hand suddenly gripped his sleeve, trembling and tight. The infant had opened his eyes at some point, staring at her intently. The maid was terrified, nearly throwing him away. Everyone else was also in a panic. News that the little prince hadn't died reached the Golden Palace. The young emperor, reviewing memorials, didn't even look up: "One night isn't enough, then two nights." His tone was flat. The maid bowed: "Yes." But three nights passed, and the little prince still refused to die, still clinging to life. Rumors of a demon spread like wildfire. The atmosphere in the palace grew increasingly heavy. Finally, news came from Cining Palace. But it wasn't about taking his life. "How could a demon enter the royal family? This child's life wasn't meant to end." So, Prince Shen was taken away by the Empress Dowager's maidservant and raised by the Empress Dowager herself. Five years passed, and the little prince who refused to die in the snow gradually grew up. Every day, he would go to the Empress's palace to pay his respects, rain or shine. The woman, adorned with jewels, sat at the head of the table, her gaze towards him filled with aloofness and a barely perceptible fear. But when a child, whose face was a spitting image of his, entered the hall, her lips immediately curved into a smile. She rose and embraced the child, her voice gentle: "Would you like some osmanthus cake? Mother made it herself." The child pouted and whined, "I'm tired of osmanthus cake. Today I want some water chestnut cake." The woman tapped his nose: "Little glutton." So intimate, like any ordinary mother and child in the world. On the other side of the hall, five-year-old Prince Shen lowered his head, clutching his robes, his expression unreadable. The Empress caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye, her face full of surprise, and blurted out: "You haven't left yet?" Prince Shen turned and ran. He hadn't gone far when a palace maid called out to him. "Second Prince, this is a gift from Her Majesty." She presented him with a plate of osmanthus cake. Prince Shen stared at the plate of pastries for a long time before finally taking it: "Thank you for the gift, Mother." He took the plate of osmanthus cakes to the koi pond in the Imperial Garden. He broke the cakes into pieces, which fluttered down like snowflakes onto the water, attracting the fish. When only one piece remained, he paused, then carefully took a bite. It was so sweet. Prince Shen wiped his eyes with his sleeve, threw the remaining pastries into the water, and left. After that day, he stopped going to the Empress's palace to pay his respects. No one cared. Two years later, the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace fell seriously ill and died. Before she passed away, the old woman held Prince Shen's hand and sighed deeply: "Remember, don't let anyone bully you." Seven-year-old Prince Shen nodded through his tears: "Okay." After that day, Prince Shen's reputation for arrogance grew louder and louder. The other princes who had once taken pleasure in mocking him all avoided him, helpless and resigned. The Empress Dowager left a will, and the Emperor and Empress couldn't do anything about him, so they simply turned a blind eye and pretended he didn't exist. Compared to him, the twin brother's character became even more noble, and he was praised throughout the court and the public. Being named Crown Prince was a natural consequence. Prince Shen was occasionally summoned to the Imperial Study for training, and he would bump into the Crown Prince when he came out. "Chen'er is here?" The Zhou Emperor, who had just spoken harshly to him, heard the commotion and called out loudly with a smile, "Come to your father." Crown Prince Ming Chen means "beautiful jade." He was named Ming Chao because no one knew if he would live to see the dawn. Prince Shen pursed his lips and stepped aside to let him pass. The two passed each other. Like completely different lives. Shen Ming Chao was seventeen years old. The Imperial Advisor observed the celestial phenomena at night and wrote to His Majesty, stating that the Second Prince had a predestined affinity with immortals and should go to Tianyu Mountain to study under a master. The Emperor and Empress were overjoyed and immediately packed their bags, sending him out of the palace that very night. It was as if they were sending away a plague god. The carriage swayed and rocked, the boy clutching the gold he'd stolen from the treasury. "If you don't want me anymore, you don't want me anymore. What kind of destiny is this? You're kidding me." He'd never imagined he'd actually join the Xiaoyao Sect, nor that he'd meet Sang Nian there. His first friend. Their first meeting was anything but friendly; in fact, they disliked each other intensely. But then, at the foot of that cliff, in his most helpless moment, the person who appeared, humming a song, was her. Fate loves to play tricks on people. He followed her as they climbed upwards, the rough rocks wearing down her hands. She didn't seem to care, even picking flowers, her forehead and nose glistening with sweat in the sunlight. She was unlike anyone else in the palace. He didn't understand, and couldn't help but ask her, "Aren't you afraid?" "Afraid of what?" Afraid of what? The cliff was steep, the climb to the top seemed endless, snakes and insects lurked along the way—what wouldn't be frightening? Shen Mingchao couldn't understand what she was thinking. She seemed to see through his thoughts: "If you're afraid, then don't make this decision in the first place. Since you've made it, then don't be afraid anymore." Shen Mingchao pouted: "Anyone can spout platitudes." She was too lazy to pay him any more attention and continued to climb steadily upwards. A strange competitive spirit arose in Shen Mingchao's heart, and he gritted his teeth to keep up with her. If this brat could do it, why couldn't he? ... They did it. When he actually stood on the ground, Shen Mingchao felt like he was dreaming, with a strong sense of unreality. By the time he came to his senses, Sang Nian and her deadpan companion had already left. Two small flowers lay on the ground. She had casually tossed them aside. As if possessed, he bent down and picked them up. He felt that perhaps he could condescend to befriend her and try. ... He successfully became her disciple. Shen Mingchao became the disciple of the Fifth Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect. A little old man who was obsessed with making him eat bean twigs. Shen Mingchao had the illusion that he had been scammed. A prestigious sect? A celestial being with an air of otherworldly grace? Who spread these rumors? He's going to arrest all those people and exterminate their entire families. Oh, I forgot, he's not Prince Shen of Zhou Kingdom anymore. He's now Shen Mingchao, the junior disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. That's all. Hmph, he doesn't want to be the junior disciple. One day, he'll become the senior disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. Just you wait. Shen Mingchao didn't want to eat bean curd. He went to the cafeteria. It was bustling around him, but he was all alone. ... He might as well go back and eat bean curd. Before leaving, he glanced at the next table. Sang Nian was sitting with a group of people, talking animatedly. How did she make new friends so quickly? Shen Mingchao gritted his teeth and kicked the dog bowl at the cafeteria entrance in anger. The big yellow dog, which had been wagging its tail happily, now looked completely bewildered, holding the bowl in its mouth. The next day, Sang Nian had a fight with that deadpan face. She went to eat alone. Shen Mingchao felt his chance had come. He could take pity on her and have a meal with her. But the first thing he said was, "How pathetic, not even anyone to eat with." ... I'm speechless. Unsurprisingly, Sang Nian argued with him again and left. Fine, I'll talk to her properly next time. Fortunately, "next time" came quickly. Sang Nian learned to fly on her sword and carried that deadpan Xie Chenzhou to dinner. For some reason, he realized he was already secretly following them. ... It didn't feel like going to dinner, it felt like being a thief. Shen Mingchao silently cursed his own behavior, hoping countless times that one of them would turn around and see him. That way, he could awkwardly but politely say, "What a coincidence, you're going to dinner too? Want to join us?" But no one did. He watched the two of them bicker and fly to their destination, walking side-by-side into the building. Not a single person looked back at him. Was he going back to eating bean curd again? Shen Mingchao gritted his teeth, mustered his determination, and rushed into the hall, grabbing Sang Nian's chair without hesitation. "Thank you for the courtesy." His heart pounded as he spoke, fearing she would get angry and kick him out. However, she only gave him a startled look, glared at him disapprovingly, turned and dragged another chair from the next table, telling everyone, "Move over a bit." She practically made room for him. Shen Mingchao's heart raced even faster. Apart from the old man who had raised him for seven years and the Fifth Elder who loved tofu pegs, no one wanted to eat with him. She was the first. It seemed cultivating immortality wasn't so bad after all. The Imperial Advisor was indeed the Imperial Advisor; his discerning eyes had immediately seen his affinity for immortality. Shen Mingchao was very satisfied and decided not to disappoint her expectations, to cultivate diligently, and to become the number one sword immortal in the cultivation world as soon as possible, so that brat would willingly call him Senior Brother Shen. ... Sang Nian's new house was finished, and Shen Mingchao counted down the days, waiting for her to invite him to the banquet. She didn't invite him. Shen Mingchao threw away the gold chain he had prepared beforehand, thought for a moment, then picked it up again and stormed off to Lonely Bamboo Peak. She must have accidentally forgotten. He forgave her this time. After all, he was once the young prince Shen, and a magnanimous man would do anything. Hmph. The gold was given away. The brat loved it and treated him incredibly well. Turns out she was a money-grubber. Shen Mingchao was relieved—he had plenty of gold anyway. They drank and chatted together, watched the moon from the mountaintop, and made some seemingly childish wishes, finally collapsing drunk in the grass and falling into a deep sleep. Actually, some didn't fall asleep. That night, Shen Mingchao clearly saw the two fireflies. So beautiful. He tilted his head, secretly peeking through the gaps in the grass at the girl holding the fireflies. It was a pity they weren't for him. ... Because of Sang Nian, Shen Mingchao gained a group of good friends. Although they always left him behind, he was still very content. They went to the Dream Pavilion together for dinner, drinks, and fireworks. Late at night, they walked side by side in the street, drunk and spouting nonsense they themselves couldn't understand. Others responded in equally nonsensical ways, but at least they were responding. Together they participated in the Heroes' Gathering, defeated the demonic beasts, rescued their friend, and won first place. They stood before the ruins, taking a photo together at the last moment before the sun dipped below the horizon. The wind whipped their hair ribbons and hems of their clothes, and they were so young. Shen Mingchao thought that the days to come would be like that photo, never changing. He truly believed it. But fate took a sharp turn. Friends left one after another. In the end, of the six who had set out together, only he returned to the Xiaoyao Sect. Where else could he go? At least there was still the Fifth Elder, who loved green beans, waiting for him. But later, the Fifth Elder also died. The Immortal Sect went to war with the Demon Clan, and they rushed to the battlefield. Not long after, the Fifth Elder died before him—to save him. From then on, no one would ever drag him to eat those unpalatable green beans again. Shen Mingchao collected his remains and returned them to the sect. He sat before his grave for a day and a night, kowtowing three times before returning to the battlefield. He thought he would die there, but then Sang Nian came. He tidied up her tent and waited for a long, long time until she finally appeared. He couldn't help but hug her briefly before quickly letting go. She was startled again, but didn't argue with him like before. She had lost a lot of weight and looked pale. Shen Mingchao knew that she had been having a hard time these past few days. Fortunately, her illness had improved, and if he took good care of her, she would return to her former self. Sang Nian didn't give him that chance. She died when the first snow fell. Xie Chenzhou killed her. It had to be Xie Chenzhou. One friend killed another, and he was caught in the middle, unable to even feel hatred. But he couldn't help but hate. Otherwise, how could he live on? ... A cenotaph appeared on the summit of Guzhu Peak, right where they used to watch the moon. Initially, Shen Mingchao often went there to sit. Later, as Shen Mingchao became the well-known Senior Brother Shen, he no longer frequented that place. However, he would still occasionally drift into a daze when passing by Lonely Bamboo Peak. How many years had it been since her death? Ten years? A hundred years? He couldn't remember. Since she left, time had always been blurry to him. Shen Mingchao couldn't help but wonder, if she returned and saw him as he was now, would she still recognize him? He was now the reliable and steady senior brother. ... She really had returned. Fate had finally smiled upon him. This time, he could protect her. Shen Mingchao thought, he could, and he was qualified to, protect her. He had never been a brave person, as could be seen from the fact that he could only cry at the bottom of the cliff. But this time, he wanted to be brave. He braved countless dangers and found the Night-Blooming Sandalwood in a secret realm of Penglai, which could cure her eye disease, waiting for her return. However, she stood beside Xie Chenzhou again. The outcome was decided. The night was as dark as the tide. Shen Mingchao silently crushed the spiritual plant in his palm, threw it into the sea, and let the waves carry it away. The flower juice stained his hands, and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air. Soon, a cleansing spell was cast, and his palm was clean and refreshed. Not a trace remained. The tide continued to flow, as if nothing had happened. Liuli Yue was right; he had made the right choice. Between one person and a group of people, he chose the latter. Giving up one person to gain a group, including her, wasn't a difficult choice. Shen Mingchao knew clearly who he liked. His only moment of infatuation since childhood—how could he not know? But the other person was Sang Nian. The Sang Nian who had already met Xie Chenzhou. Therefore, some feelings were best kept in the heart, never, ever spoken. He tried to convince himself. But another voice rang out—he was so good, no less than Xie Chenzhou, what if she fell in love with him? There were no "what ifs." Between those two, he could never interfere. Fortunately, he had a group of friends. However, much later, the once flamboyant and willful Shen Mingchao became the revered Grandmaster Shen. But those rivals he spoke of back then—Wen Buyu, Xiao Zhuochen, Xie Chenzhou—were all gone. It seemed everyone, in their endless cycle, always left him behind. The sword of Changli, the person of Changli. His life was always one of separation. The images on those memory stones were gone, but those in his mind remained. In the dead of night, he dreamt of the faces of old friends. The dew-covered grass of Xianyang, this is the first autumn of a thousand years… The year after the goddess's departure, Shen Mingchao, the number one sword immortal of the cultivation world, ascended to heaven after his tribulation. "Fusang," the Heavenly Dao proclaimed. In the divine realm, there were two Fusang trees, intertwined, relying on each other for over ten thousand years. After the war between the demon gods, one of the Fusang trees fell, its leaves withered, and disappeared without a trace. Not long after, the other tree also withered and died. After countless twists and turns, they reunited in the mortal realm. The weary Grandmaster Shen revealed his first smile in two years. Just like when he was seventeen, he proudly raised his chin: "I am Prince Shen, Shen Mingchao, not some Fusang." The gates to the divine realm still wouldn't open. The stubborn Prince Shen refused to return, turning back to the mortal realm. This time, he would take his friends to find his best friend. Never to be separated again.
