    In his new book, he was scolded for "delivering takeout like a dog," and knelt in front of a villa on a stormy night, his sauerkraut and fish soup spilling everywhere. No one knew that he was the Dragon Saint Immortal Emperor, betrayed 30,000 years ago by his best friend, beloved disciple, and nemesis, who had fallen to the mortal realm. His cultivation was completely destroyed, and he had to start from scratch. The healer Su Qingyue shielded him from a fatal blow, her soul on the verge of dissipation. The painting spirit Xian'er waited for him for 20 million years within a scroll, just to call him "Master." His memories were sealed in fifteen layers, each layer representing a past person. He unraveled each layer, each layer breaking his heart—his best friend asked the night before handing him poisoned wine, "Did you ever consider me a friend?", His beloved disciple asked "Why?" When blocking his escape route, and his nemesis Di Shitian forced him to reincarnate with 30,000 years of infamy, just to teach him to say, "I need you." The final sword strike wasn't against his enemy, but against his lonely, former self. Reclaiming his Immortal Emperor status, he didn't sit on the Nine Heavens. Peach blossoms bloomed year after year on Bamboo Peak, with Immortal Emperor Liyue on his left and Immortal Emperor Hua on his right. The world calls them the "Twin Beauties of Lihua," but they only address each other as "Sister Qingyue" and "Sister Xian'er." Time is not a straight line, but a circle. After traveling for thirty thousand years, they finally returned to each other's side.
