The Five Phoenixes: “Among all creatures that resemble phoenixes, those with predominantly red feathers are called Feng, those with predominantly blue feathers are called Luan, those with predominantly yellow feathers are called Yuanchu, those with predominantly purple feathers are called Yuanzhuo, and those with predominantly white feathers are called Honghu.”
Book of Zhou, Biographies, Duke Dang of Jin, Hu: “Of all the bonds in the world, none are closer than that between brothers. If brothers harbor resentment toward one another, how can they grow close to anyone else?”
Book of Songs, Lesser Odes, The Deer Cry: “The blossoms of the cherry tree, their calyxes bright and glorious. Of all people living today, none are like brothers.”

Original blurb:
I recently got into Ashes of Love and really liked the bond between Runyu and Xufeng, so this story came about.
The inspiration came when Tu Yao leapt from the Abyssal Platform. The Flower Deity survived, gave birth to Jin Mi, and made arrangements for what came after. Tu Yao should also have had the ability and time to leave some safeguards behind.
At the end of the story, the Water Deity appeared in reincarnation, so I also gave Liao Yuan Jun a reincarnation setting.

Later changes:
During serialization, one of the lead actors got into a scandal. I revised the outline during the hiatus, so I also had to remove the original brotherly storyline between Runyu and Xufeng.
In the later chapters, Tang Yue is promoted from the original “main viewpoint character” to the “protagonist.” Feng An is a hidden antagonist, with an ultimate villain behind him. The two have complicated true identities and a deep connection to each other, but there is no romantic conflict between them, and each has an independent love story.
Thanks to everyone who has been reading. I've decided to make major revisions, so the story will no longer match the original blurb. I hope you'll understand.

P.S. One more reminder: Tax evasion and tax avoidance are unacceptable! How fortunate we are to live in the best country in the world. Be a law-abiding, patriotic citizen!

Theme: Love doesn't always lead to growing old together; those who set out together don't always reach the same destination
It feels like what Xu Feng forgot was Runyu
