The phoenix was a god, powerful and high-ranking, and indifferent to others. After living for hundreds of years, everything began to feel increasingly dull. He had to watch friends and family die and part from him, and witness how quickly human society changed.

And sunsets, for example. They were beautiful, but this was the 255,500th sunset he'd seen. In the eyes of a god, the sun was starting to look more and more like a golden pill. Like a metal wire stretched longer and longer, the sun always rose in the east and set in the west, and calculus could never finish cutting a log in half, no matter how many times it was halved. To leave something unfinished when it could be finished, to live forever: it had become a torment.

The little one who came close to him was no different.

The little one was truly pitiful. He had no parents growing up, was adopted by foster parents, worked every day to support the household, and had to care for a younger brother who wasn't related to him by blood. His whole family clung to him like a nest of leeches, and he fed them with his own blood. It seemed life had given him nothing but suffering. On top of that, it had left him with a huge, ugly scar stretching from the corner of his eye to his ear.

The god saw all of this and thought, another boring human.

But then he saw something different.

Even so, the little one struggled to stay alive.

He kept living even as people trampled him underfoot.

The god found himself a new pastime: the pitiful little one.

The little one said he thought he had fallen for him, and the god went along with it. But in his heart, he wondered: What is love? He probably didn't love the little one.

And yet, when the little one was sad, left, and disappeared, the god felt a pain in his heart.

Was love pain?

He began to lose control of his emotions, tearing off the mask of a noble god of his own accord.

From the moment he saw Ruan Yan, he was no longer a god. He had fallen into the mortal world and become human.

*

The god above the clouds fell into the mortal world, and from then on learned the full range of human emotions.

He gently kissed his beloved's forehead, tracing the scars on his face with his tongue, and said:

The gods like you.
