Tan Jingzhe would never forget that day ten years ago.

Still a boy, he went to battle for the first time. All three thousand soldiers at his side were killed, the land ran red for miles, and corpses covered the fields.

He himself was gravely wounded, barely breathing.

As he lay at death's door, the sky suddenly blazed with light, and the sun illuminated the golden peaks. Amid the brilliant golden radiance, a man chanted in a low, ancient voice as he slowly walked toward him.

As the man chanted, the outlines of thousands of the dead were edged in gold. They slowly rose and walked toward him, finally merging into that radiant light.

Only later did Tan Jingzhe learn that the man had been guiding the three thousand souls who died on the battlefield into the afterlife.

But at the time, there was only one thought in Tan Jingzhe's mind: he had met a god.

He could not make out the god's face. He saw only compassion in those golden eyes.

"Go. Return to where you belong," the god said.

Later, Tan Jingzhe became a true general. He led his troops through countless battles, sweeping aside powerful enemies and striking fear into all who heard his name. At a young age, he also became the commander of the emperor's personal guard, the Blackbird Guard, rising to a position second only to The Outcast and earning a formidable reputation.

But he never saw the god again.

Not until one day, ten years later, when an investigation led him to a prisoner in a heavily guarded dungeon.

The man was gravely wounded, with broken bones and torn tendons, and barely clung to life. Yet he was breathtakingly beautiful. As cruel officials interrogated him, blood streaked down his pale cheeks, but his anguished gaze held a look of pity and compassion.

In that instant, Tan Jingzhe was lost in a daze. The figure he had yearned for day and night, yet considered too sacred to profane, seemed to overlap with the man before him.

Much later, they investigated cases together and traveled across the length and breadth of the Great Yan Kingdom.

The deserts of the northwest, the rain-soaked alleys of Jiangnan, the dense forests of the southwest, the snowy plains of the northeast...

For the first time, a god and a mortal left their footprints side by side.

Until one day, Tan Jingzhe was ambushed by his enemies and gravely wounded. The god cut his fair, slender wrist and used his own blood to save him.

Tan Jingzhe: "A god must not meddle with another's fate. By doing this, are you defying the laws of Heaven?"

The god's golden eyes shimmered. A blush appeared on his fair cheeks. "The laws of Heaven also forbid gods and mortals from cultivating together. Between you and me... the laws of Heaven have long ceased to exist."
