The master of the Tower of Ultimate Bliss is not someone you can speak of lightly. Xing Tianzong, who had come to train with his grandmaster, had heard this so often his ears were practically callused. But the more he heard it, the more curious he became. Those destined to meet the master would see him. Am I one of them? Xing Tianzong asked the person beside him. The man smiled faintly and said nothing. Xing Tianzong's heart pounded. After a long while, he murmured, "I guess I am."
The world has always hated me. Born human, I have suffered the eight hardships, and I've already experienced six of them. Two, you suffered in my place, and two more, you gave me. Perhaps I committed too many sins in my previous life, or perhaps I did too many good deeds. Ultimate Bliss can no longer tell whether this is punishment or favor. Everyone longs for immortality, but the one thing Ultimate Bliss wants least is eternal life.
Author: A devoted, abstinent gong x a sickly, mortal shou. A deeply angsty romance, but still a sweet story! Told in reverse, with memories woven throughout.
