COMPLETED! --- "From now on, you will not age, nor will you die. From now on, you will witness how people around you die. From now on, you will be the undying Immortal Zhang Hei." --- More than four hundred years ago, Zhang Hei callously swung his sword to separate souls from their bodies, leaving no soul attached to the body in Jiangshi Palace. The massacre triggered severe punishment from the God of Life, and he was cursed to witness the death of the humans around him while he himself would not be able to die. From that day on, Zhang Hei became an immortal who would live forever. Zhang Hei had lived in this world for over four hundred years, and he had witnessed so many deaths over the years. As he continued losing people around him, he felt more and more emptiness in his heart, and he finally begged the God of Life to lift his punishment. He said that he wanted to die, and the God of Life then asked him to meet the God of Death. The God of Death then asked him to find a person. That person was one of the people he killed heartlessly more than four hundred years ago, and after meeting him again, his life started to change. As his life continued to change, Zhang Hei also began to see strange images in his mind that seemed to be part of the past that were erased from his memory by the God of Life, and some unexpected things began to happen in his life. Would the immortal still want to die after he once again reunited with someone from the past? Would he be able to die in the end?

The Empress immediately agreed with the Emperor, and it turned out that she immediately fell in love with the two orphans after meeting them for the first time. She even asked the imperial tailors to make the best clothes for them, and she also asked the palace cooks to cook their favorite food every day.
Zhang Hei even had the illusion that his mother had come to life once again in the form of the Empress, and that was because the Empress' warmth reminded him so much of his mother.
It seemed that he wasn't the one who thought that way because his brother's condition gradually improved as well after they moved into the palace. The Empress patiently took care of the boy, and the boy began to open up thanks to her affection and care. The boy was even willing to talk and laugh, and Zhang Hei couldn't have felt more relieved than that.
