In the 300th year of the Tianzhao era, Shen Guanlian sacrificed himself for the Dao and died.
Fifteen years later, he came back to life in a bizarre twist, transformed into a...
Fluffy, soft, lop-eared rabbit.
Before he could figure out what was going on, someone picked him up and said they were going to present him to the leader of the Immortal Alliance.
Shen Guanlian: "...Squeak?" Who?
His mortal enemy, Pei Wuyi.
-
It was said that the cold and unfeeling Supreme of the Immortal Alliance once had a beloved Dao companion.
After "she" died, Pei Wuyi was shattered with grief. He hung her portrait high atop the Alliance Leader's Peak and gazed at it every day, living like a walking corpse.
After settling down beside Pei Wuyi as a lop-eared rabbit who had been presented to him, Shen Guanlian found that the rumors were true.
Pei Wuyi really did look heartbroken.
He would leave his wounds untreated, letting the blood pour freely. He would stare blankly at the empty seat across from him, then give a dazed smile.
Or, on a rainy night, he would gaze at the lonely sky in silence for a long while before finally saying:
"...They're really dead."
Lop-eared rabbit: "Squeak."
There was no saving him.
But although Pei Wuyi was grieving, he kept the affairs of the Immortal Alliance in perfect order.
One day, a sect elder praised him: "If the Alliance Leader's wife can see this from beyond the grave, she can depart in peace, knowing you are doing so well."
That day, the lop-eared rabbit sat beside Pei Wuyi and saw him pick up his brush and write a line.
[Kill everyone under heaven.]
Oh no, he's gone mad!
-
To keep the world safe, Shen Guanlian had no choice but to go see the "Alliance Leader's wife."
That night, while Pei Wuyi was in seclusion, he quietly sneaked into the secret chamber.
The legendary portrait hung there in silence, facing away from him.
Holding his breath, Shen Guanlian gently turned the scroll around...
The person in the painting wore a snow-white Daoist robe, with ink-black hair and cool, compassionate eyes. Snow clung to his long lashes as he lowered his gaze. His elegance was unparalleled.
But Shen Guanlian's blood suddenly turned ice-cold.
It was unmistakably...
Himself at seventeen, before he had sacrificed himself for the Dao.
#The solution to saving all beings turns out to be yourself
#Why isn't this how sacrificing yourself for the Dao is supposed to go?!
A selfless, righteous (and somewhat adorable) shou + a slightly unhinged, gloomy gong
Reader advisory:
1. The gong has a few screws loose. He only cares about the shou and doesn't care whether anyone else lives or dies. (If you can't handle that, look away! (｡•ᴗ-)_)
