I Won't Be a Savior

[Blurb]

Su Yang was born with divine bones and was given the mission of saving the world from the day she came into being. She remained steadfast in her conviction, willing to risk her life again and again to see it through.

Then disaster struck. Her bonded artifact, the Thousand Mechanisms Mirror, shattered, leaving her gravely injured. Heaven was bitterly disappointed in her, treating her with cold contempt and blaming her at every turn.

Su Yang suddenly found it all laughable.

At the Assembly of Ten Thousand Courts, in full view of everyone, she gave in to her own desires for the first and only time, relinquished her divine office without a care for anyone's opinion, and left with a carefree stride.

From then on, she became the fallen god despised by all three realms.

Strange things had been happening lately in Miyun City. The family of Lord Guo, the city's richest man, had inexplicably gone mad, and illness plagued them. They were in danger of dying, yet no matter how many doctors and cultivators examined them, no one could find the cause.

Su Yang happened to overhear something as she passed by. Sensing that there was more to it, she decided to investigate.

That night, a bloodstained hand clamped around her throat. Ragged breathing brushed past her neck. "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you."

When he saw her clearly, the young man's tone suddenly softened, with a hint of a grievance in his voice.

"Bad people are after me. Will you save me?"

"Sister."

Su Yang was speechless.

In this entire Guo household, who could be worse than you?

Su Yang casually saved the young man, never imagining she'd end up saddled with a clingy pest who followed her everywhere and never stopped talking. She couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard she tried.

Later, when someone recognized her and shouted for her to be beaten, he stepped in front of her, shielding her and refusing to let anyone lay a finger on her.

At first she didn't understand what he wanted from her. It wasn't until much later, when she recovered all her memories, that she finally realized...

He seemed to have been searching for her for a thousand years.

* The romance and plot receive equal focus, with some mystery-solving elements.
