The Old Moon No Longer Shines on Me

When Ziying was young, someone told him he was destined to become an immortal.

But the immortals could not give him an extra mouthful of food or an extra inch of clothing amid the chaos of war. Taking in a beggar as family could not save her life, either. Later, he was brought back to the palace and made a puppet emperor, forced to feign madness and foolishness, only to meet his end by being cut in half at the waist.

But that day, the little beggar girl who had become an immortal carried him home. To repay him, she ran all over the world. He did not understand why, but deep down, he always wanted to make her happy.

Only later did he learn that such devotion came from the regret of a past life. Back then, he had also taken her home after finding her, and all he wanted was for the world's storms to fall on him alone.
