Chang'an's Burdened Years

Chang'an has three great aims in life: never be bullied, never worry about her life, and never dwell on the past.

Unable to cultivate and possessing only a spirit body, she's content to live an ordinary life, though of course that depends on not being bullied.

Others might put up with being trampled underfoot, but she won't.

She must become stronger. She will become stronger.

Liu Qingzhou has three great fears: that he won't see Chang'an, that Chang'an will disappear, and that Chang'an will ignore him.

With a thick enough skin, even pursuing a wife is a small matter for the handsome and talented Master Liu.

"If one day I'm no longer Chang'an, how will you treat me?"

"That won't happen. It's impossible. It doesn't exist."

Master Liu, looking both smug and displeased, scooped up his wife and carried her back to their room. "Once we have a little Chang'an, everything will be fine."
