I Won't Become an Immortal

---I've revised the first three chapters. Let me take a breather before I work on the rest. If I restart, I'll probably rewrite the whole thing, so don't read it just yet.---

Ten years ago, Liu Xiaozhao went against fate for once and saved a blind man.

Ten years later, he came looking for her, but not to repay the favor.

Liu Xiaozhao leaned against the door: If you want me to come out of retirement, it'll cost you.

Yuan Zheng patted his empty pockets: No problem. I can rob someone.

The blind man's eyes could see again,

but his heart was blind.

Bound to a Windrider Kite, Liu Xiaozhao gritted her teeth and thought back to ten years earlier. Then she understood.

Sure enough, you should never accept your fate.

After eighteen years of life, Liu Xiaozhao had already suffered more than enough at the hands of fate.

As she struggled to survive like an insect, a voice in her ear kept demanding: Have you given in yet?

Why should she give in?

He was born with spiritual meridians, a peerless sword physique seen once in a hundred lifetimes.

He was a young grandmaster who drew spiritual energy from heaven and earth and forged his own path.

If the world stood in his way, he would defy it with every ounce of his rebellious spirit.

He could die, but he would never accept his fate.

A firefly challenging the brilliance of the stars, a mayfly trying to shake the sun?

No.

A precious pearl wiping away dust, a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

Notes:

- Deadpan funny top x a tragic, embittered bottom

- The bottom was eight when he saved the top. Because of his ability to see the future, he had foreseen scenes of the two of them together, but he was too young to understand love. Their relationship begins after they reunite. No childhood romance, what kind of romance could an eight-year-old have!

- An attempt at a large ensemble cast. The writing is amateurish and the prose is very plain.

- I admire the strong, too, but the top and bottom in this story really aren't the strongest characters, and they're definitely not perfect.

- If anything bothers you, please feel free to click away. Don't come pick a fight with me.

- Cultivation ranks: Qi Refining -- Foundation Establishment -- Golden Core -- Nascent Soul -- Soul Separation -- Deity Transformation -- Great Ascension -- Tribulation Transcendence

Theme: Like candle flames, every little spark of hope is kindling before the wildfire.
