Mu Chi loves this beautiful world, and he loves his master and senior brothers very much.
But one day, he discovers that all the love he's received is fake.
His master's affection, his senior brother's protection, his second senior brother's concern... It's all fake.
When Mu Chi finally loses all hope, he abandons everything he once had and goes off to live the carefree life he wants.
Mu Chi's perspective:
I like my master. I mean the kind of scandalous love one has for a cultivation partner. (But I'm too cowardly to confess.) On my birthday, I got drunk and told my master how I felt. He didn't respond. (Heartbroken.) After that, he continued treating me just as well as before, and neither of us ever brought it up again. (I didn't dare. I really didn't dare.) After my birthday, I kept silently loving my master. (What else could I do? I'm a coward with no wife.) But one day, I discovered that all the kindness my master showed me was just compensation for the guilt he felt about planning to dig out my immortal bones one day. (Thanks, but no thanks, you scumbag.)...
I don't hate my master, but he feels like a stranger to me.
I gave everyone exactly what they wanted and obediently walked toward my own death. (I was faking it.) I don't want to just die like that, okay?
One day, I made a deal with a strange man and gained a new life for myself. (I ran away.)
Theme: Love yourself well.
