[Hei Hua] Different Paths, Same Destination

One is a snow lotus blooming on an icy peak, a western mansion's crabapple carved among ornate beams and painted rafters. The other is an eagle soaring across the blue sky, a lone wolf, arrogant and proud. Hei Xiazi has spent his life evading the ugliness and dangers of ordinary society, the glittering lights and drunken excess that were never his to claim. With a flippant smile no one can see through, he faces this filthy world alone. He moves through its soft red haze as if he has never entered the world at all, untethered and unreal. Even though his hopes have long since been worn away without a trace, his heart remains clear and keen. Xie Yuchen has walked a long road, looking out in every direction only to find desolation. Alone, he bears the hopes and future of his family, but at the cost of freezing his own future in eternal stillness. Trapped in the role of the Xie family's head, unable to escape, he watches time rush by. The cruel chisel of society has severed his wings and worn away too many pointless convictions and dreams. Only his resolve to protect the Xie family still stands proud. They are both undeniably strong. My fate is mine to command, not Heaven's! If Heaven seeks to destroy me, I will destroy Heaven! I don't want you to wander in the dark, but I cannot promise you a lifetime of warmth like heaven.
