Notes:
Well, here is a new beginning of this story, which I really like and I hope those who are interested in the work will like it too. And, unfortunately, not all the points of the notes fit in the header of the work, so I am writing the points that did not fit here:
5. The official ending of Xue Yang broke my heart, so I will say right away: "In this work, he will have a completely different ending." The target audience of the work is me, but if someone is interested in the work, I will be glad to receive your feedback and click the wait button.
6. The work is exclusively het, so do not expect slash pairings with Xue Yang and descriptions of relationships of other LGBT couples (canon and fanon) here. With Xiao Xingchen, the former ally of Wen Ruohan here is exclusively brotherly relations. For me, these two, when watching the drama and reading some excerpts of the novel, were always like an older and younger brother. The latter is loved more and given the best, while the former is deprived of attention, which is why he kills the latter. The Lan Zhan/Wei Ying pairing will only be mentioned, but nothing more.
7. I don't like the Lanling Jin clan, so don't expect much good in their direction.
8. I would be very grateful to all those who point out grammatical errors.
9. Xue Yang/A-Qing is the main pairing. The others are in the background, but they will also be given time.

***
All stories begin the same way.There is nothing new under the moon - for one star to go out, another must light up.Of course, life - youth, old age and death - everyone understands in their own way, because everyone has their own words and their own views.All stories are our stories.Do not listen to what they tell you, love - it is the only thing that matters.Love will always burn brightly in our hearts.Burn so brightly that no one except Death can extinguish this flame.All stories begin the same way and today the moon has nothing new either, but do me the honor and read this story - the story of the dark sorcerer Xue Yang and A-Qing.
