    Female Lead: Jiang Que Male Lead: Wu Yuan 1. I want my name to be remembered forever, my voice to resonate throughout the world, and countless believers to live for a thousand autumns and ten thousand years. 2. May all living beings become their own gods. 3. If one person believes in me, I can protect that person; if a thousand believe in me, I can protect a thousand; if all the people of the world believe in me, I can protect all the people of the world. 4. If one day all living beings worship me as a god, even if my body perishes in the world, if the people do not betray me, I will not betray them. 5. I disdain hiding my ambition and desires, nor will I use the people as a pretext, nor do I need any embellished excuses or reasons. Your name has long been forgotten, but Lianheng, I will be remembered for eternity. 6. Look, this is an immortal, resisting thunder with the body of an ant. 7. Heaven bestowed upon me unique power so that I could help others, myself, and all living beings, not so that I could be above everyone else, arrogant and self-important. 8. When looking up at the sky, I also look down with compassion upon all living beings. 9. If you are truly merciful, you should know that I have done nothing wrong. I have neither indiscriminately killed the innocent nor bullied the weak. I have brought unity to the world and peace to the people. You, as the Heavenly Way, do not protect me but instead try to kill me. The reason you give me time is merely to enjoy the pleasure of watching ants struggle. Don't you find the word "mercy" laughable? 10. Why call for the Bodhisattva? Call me. 11. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their eyes and brows, illuminating them and the vast landscape beneath their feet. 12. Her spirit was in unbearable pain, yet her reason remained as firm as a rock. 13. Do whatever you want; my bottom line for you is to live. 14. I will always be yours; don't ignore me because of this anymore. 15. "Are you going to stop me too?" "Follow me, I'll clear the way for you." 16. "From today onwards, you're mine, do you accept?" "I accept." 17. The past is gone, but from now on, I won't let you hurt again. 18. From this day forward, I will love what she loves, protect what she protects, and never let her cry like this again. 19. Anyway, no matter life or death, I will always be with her. 20. It was my fault for being a match for her. 21. You little liar, it hurts so much. 22. Fireworks blazed, the crowd roared, and a single congratulatory shout rang out for him. 23. So this is what it feels like to have someone see you off, like a thread tied to your heart, no matter how far you go, you'll always want to return to her side. 24. I will not entrust my destiny with my beloved to a lake; my beloved, life after life, I will seek her out myself. 25. My dear, you didn't mean anything by it. It's not loneliness, sadness, being emotional, or being out of your mind. My confession wasn't a failure either, because it's just beginning. 26. For the sake of the common people, personal feelings are unacceptable. 27. "It's alright, I'm here. Let her go play." 28. "If you can't solve it, that person is your daughter-in-law." 29. He hoped Jiang Que could be happy because of this. He didn't ask for much, not just one, but one of many. If her life could have a moment of happiness connected to him, that would be enough. 30. Sparrows perch on spring branches, Jiang Que, Mu Chunzhi. 31. Love won't make you sick, you brat. 32. Actually, I was scared too, but thankfully you came. 33. I thought I could stay with you for a long time. 34. My little cat knows it's about to die and is afraid of hurting me, so it found a place to hide and wait to die. 35. Go your own way, climb your own peak. Jiang Fusheng will be no worse than you. 36. Jiang Fusheng and Jiang Que are connected by blood, the closest of sisters. 37. She is a lonely soul; you must not deceive her, for she is helpless. Lan Yun Peak will always be behind her. 38. Taiping Lingwei protects all living beings; a plum blossom becomes a sword to sever grudges. 39. Fear not, fear not, calm your mind, concentrate your spirit, let your six senses remain still, and your inner demons will not disturb you. 40. It's not that I'm good, it's that they are good. They never fear my achievements, nor do they slander me because of my strength. They neither curse nor belittle me. The world is vast; they let me be reckless and play along. They are my fellow disciples, my comrades-in-arms, accompanying her from nothing to where she is now. 41. Public opinion is terrifying; though invisible, it can wound in an instant. Accumulated slander can destroy a person, and public opinion can melt metal. 42. For thousands of years, I hope he can reunite with the one he longs for. 43. Brushing away life, brushing away life, illuminating all living beings. 44. Thank you for raising me anew. 45. I heard you; I share in every prayer of the believers. 46. ​​Even though she's about to die, life seems to be getting more and more exciting. While alive, she wanted to die; now that she's dying, she wants to live well. 47. The supreme and the lowly, in the face of death, are finally equal. 48. May Lady Sparrow be safe and sound. 49. A straightforward woman's moves are always deadly. 50. Others have their own blessings; following Jiang Que, I'll enjoy them. 51. My junior sister's words give me confidence. 52. Skilled in both literature and martial arts, charming and charming. 53. Put aside personal manners and enjoy a life of folly. 54. Jiang Que stood tall in the wind; from then on, everyone in the world knew her name. 55. Warm Reminder: 1. Keep the wedding dress given to you by Wu Yuan safe. 2. I'm currently in Wu Yuan's arms; he's sleeping. Don't kick him when he wakes up. 3. Don't be cold to Wu Yuan, and it's best not to leave him alone. 4. I have someone I like, so please keep your distance from the opposite sex. 5. If anyone shows interest in Wuyuan during this period, shrink him down and hold him in your arms. Don't let him go anywhere. The person I set my sights on can only be mine. You must protect him.
