Warnings:
There is some history delineation at some point as this is based on a fictional character.
Parents and elders arrange marriages
Some lack of communication, but it gets better after the first time. Specifically because that character is a watch and learn type.
There is a major god in the story, no they will not be introduced until later in the story and “magic” doesn’t get introduced until later as well.
As this is historical context if I get things wrong please correct me as I have only studied for at least 6 months before writing this story every aspect that I would need for it.
Story progression kicks off at the beginning.
All of the characters weren’t made for you to like them, only for you to see them as human.
I can’t draw well so you’re going to have to live with the cover I made.

[GL] The Eternal Life of Gao He Shen

All you see is a reflection of what is inside.


What you know is a version of all you know.


All you can think is a glance of what you learned.


You are a cricket on the wall, mantis or bird.


The human beckons tenderly the downfall of all.
