Seeking Immortality: A Single Thought of Fate

A scrap-collecting boy at the city's edge stumbles upon more than trash—he finds his long-lost grandfather, who unveils a world of cultivation and impossible dreams. One impulsive decision launches him onto an irreversible path toward immortality. But ambition without wisdom breeds disaster: the heroine suffers for his reckless caution, his arrogance masquerading as love, and his inability to control even his basest impulses. She cleans up every mess he creates while he remains blind to his own failings. A bittersweet tale of flawed devotion and the brutal cost of chasing transcendence.
