In a world where the boundaries of time blur and eternity is but a fleeting concept, the relentless pursuit of immortality has captivated countless souls. At the center of this eternal struggle is Liang, whose life approaches its final chapter. After six hundred years, he has reached the limits of his potential. Haunted by the limits of his mortality, Liang devises a daring plan to shatter the confines of his destiny and achieve true immortality. But is he genuinely shaping a new destiny, defying the predetermined course of his life? Or is he merely walking a path that fate has already laid out for him? "Which is more ambitious: the heart of a mortal or the will of heaven?" You would probably have to read to find out (^_^)
"So, your father is very pitiful?" Liang shook his head mockingly.
Dong Rui smiled shamelessly, a flicker of amusement in her eyes, and said nothing.
Shaking his head, Liang turned to leave. The banquet was already ending, and its once lively atmosphere now felt heavy and laden with unsaid words.

Two days later, a new invitation arrived for Liang. This one came from someone he had long been anticipating—Dong Tian Di, the current head of the Dong Clan.
As the sun began to set the next day, a guest arrived at Liang's residence. It was none other than Dong Rui.
Upon seeing Liang's calm demeanor, Dong Rui couldn't help but me amused "My father has asked me to bring you to meet him. I'm sure you were already notified."
Liang nodded, his expression remaining stoic. "Yes."
Dong Rui's eyes flickered thoughtfully, searching his face for any hint of emotion or uncertainty. "Since you're ready, let's go."
