[Arrogant, scheming gong x shrewd, patient shou]
Synopsis:
1
The Heavenly Court has just been established. Zhang Bairen is crowned, becoming the first Heavenly Emperor.
He gazes proudly at the host of immortals submitting to him, feeling immensely satisfied. He swears to carve out a place for mortals and immortals alike!
Night falls. The ceremony is over, and the drunken Dong Wang Gong barges into his sleeping quarters...
The lights blaze. They spend the night entangled, and his dignity is trampled underfoot.
Gazing at the handsome, jade-like sleeping face beside him, he sighs, his emotions a tangle...
"In the end... you forgot me."
2
To him, Dong Wang Gong Shaoyang Jun, whether or not he became Heavenly Emperor didn't really matter. But somehow...
Somehow, Zhang Bairen, that smooth-talking mortal immortal, had taken the throne from him, and it made his blood boil.
Sure enough, immortals who had attained the Dao as mortals were selfish. As soon as Zhang Bairen took power, he made things much easier for mortal immortals.
Zhang Bairen wanted to open the Gates of Heaven and help mortals ascend, so he severed the connection between Heaven and Earth and shut the Heavenly Court away.
Zhang Bairen wanted to cut a path through the River of Forgetfulness and allow mortal immortals to marry, so he stripped Manzhu and Shahua of their immortal roots, turning them into flowers of the other shore, their blossoms and leaves doomed to miss each other for all eternity.
Zhang Bairen wanted to earn merit for mortal immortals, so he personally endured a thousand seven hundred and fifty tribulations, a total of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years...
"I hear his fate in this life has been quite eventful. By order of the emperor, he's gone to the Southern Seas."
"Mm. He's a eunuch in this life, which is good. I won't have to worry about his marriage anymore."
