Shen Qin, the young leader of the martial arts world (gong) x Ye Yun, a former dynasty prince and a free-spirited wanderer of the jianghu (seemingly gong, actually shou)
"The heights are lonely, but the depths are just as bleak. Amid all the flowers and splendor stands a shadow that seems to have everything. The sun sets, the shadow fades, and the crowd disperses. That would be fine, except people like to curse it, slander it, and kick it while it's down. When the wall falls, everyone pushes; when the drum breaks, everyone beats it."
"Protect the homeland and safeguard the people. Is it worth it, for all the common folk?" "It is."
"When you want something, you can't get it. When you don't want it, it all comes to you."
"In this jianghu, who is truly good? You say everyone is kind, so why has no one attained enlightenment and saved all living beings?"
"Praise fills the world, but slander follows close behind. The human heart is frightening; a great reputation deserves pity."
