To win the comeback contest, Fuguang has to help a friend realize their screenwriting dream by taking the female lead role. The male lead is another hapless friend of hers.
For their first attempt, the director says, “The human-divine romance is the best!”
But the chemistry between the leads isn't strong enough, and the story ends in tragedy.
For their second attempt, the director says, “A human-immortal romance is trendy too.”
The male lead is a sloth, so he keeps missing his cues, and they're almost replaced by a passerby.
For their third attempt, the director says, “Humans are best matched with other humans.”
Then the genius scholar from Sumeru, absorbed in his research, keeps standing the female lead up.
Fuguang kicks both friends out. “Thanks, guys. I'll do it myself.”
Morax and Fuguang met three times.
When the gods still walked the mortal world, a phoenix demon god who ruled one corner of the land died of a broken heart when a mortal woman refused to love him.
Among the many rumors, he was the homewrecker.
During the Archon War, an immortal who protected mortals fell for a healer who dedicated herself to helping others, only to have his love stolen. He died of heartbreak.
The stories are all over the place, but yes, he was the one who stole someone else's beloved.
In the age of the Seven Archons, a peerless genius scholar fell in love at first sight with a beautiful woman and vowed to marry no one but her. He died with regrets when his wish went unfulfilled.
He was the ruler who broke up the happy couple.
Morax's reputation... What reputation does Morax even have?
The phoenix demon god died of obsession, the solitary immortal died of arrogance, and the genius scholar was undone by delusion. In the end, Morax got blamed for it all.
When Mr. Zhongli, wandering the mortal world at leisure, looks back on the past once more, he thinks this really was a losing deal.
