On the Market District of Chang'An, a Middle-Aged Man was carrying his cute son on his shoulder, both of them strolled the market happily.
"Fei Gua, do you know what Dynasty you're living?" Asked The Middle-Aged Man while carrying the small Fei Gua on his shoulder.
"Yes Father, It's The XinTang Dynasty!" Said the cute little boy happily.
"Smart Boy! Hehe, now, do you know what's the Imperial Lineage and the name of the Emperor?" Asked The Middle-Aged Man again.
"Yes! The Imperial Lineage comes from the "Lǐ " family, and The Emperor is called XinTang Xuanzong, Fei Gua believes his personal name is Li LongDi!" Answer Fei Gua.
"Eh?" The Middle-Aged Man was surprised, well, in a bad and a good way, the good thing was, his dear son knew such a detailed thing! the bad thing was, for Fei Gua to knew the Emperor personal name, he might have read through the classified document from the sect.
The Middle-Aged Man, with a worried gentle smile, asked Fei Gua
"Son, Umm... do you read some document in my office..."
"Eh!? Fei Gua is not permitted?" Asked the cute little boy innocently.
The Father just smiled, he then said
"It's not that you're not permitted, but inside are some fragile and classified documents, if one of them gets damaged, it will cause a lot of problem for me..."
"Oo.... Alright, Father" said the cute little boy.
"Good Boy!" said the father as he smiled widely and continued to walks relaxingly through the market, that was until Fei Gua said
"Fei Gua vow to not let any document gets damaged!" Said Fei Gua with a determined voice and expression.
"Eh!? That's not what....Aah" The father was stunned hearing his cute son determined vow, he then tried to calmly explain to Fei Gua that he was "Not Permitted" to go into his studies. he put Fei Gua down from his shoulder and crouch to see him face to face.
"Umm... Fei Gua, that's not the problem, it's dangerous if you play inside my office..." Said The Father while smiling calmly, Fei Gua just looked confused hearing his father.
He said, "Father, I don't understand, the problem is the safety of the documents right?"
But after he said those sentenced, Fei Gua started to understand something, his face then turned sad, and tears started to build in his cute little eyes. He said
"Fa...Father.... Does...Does Father not trust Fei Gua?.... Does Fei Gua just not permitted in your office? Does... Does Father not love Fei Gua anymore.... Hiks.."
"Eh!?" The Father was surprised, he tried to calm Fei Gua down before he started crying. He quickly grabbed a handkerchief from his Void-Room ring and wiped the tears from his son's eyes, with a gentle but confused expression the father said

"Fei, Fei Gua, it's not that I don't love you... It's just.... Haih..... Alright, alright, you can play in my office, but, the documents on my table, or the documents inside the Old-Rustic-Metal chest on the corner of the room, you must not meddle with it, okay?"
"Alright Father, Fei Gua oblige!" said Fei Gua happily while he bowed toward his father, he didn't show any sad emotion anymore, it was just like the sad expression from before was just an act.
The Father looked at his happy son and thinks to himself
"Wao... where did he learn to act like that, Hmmm, it must come from his mother..."
And both of them continued walking through the Market, sight-seeing the sweets and goods Chang'An Market had to offer. As they were walking, The Father was curious and also worried, what did Fei Gua read in his office.
"Fei Gua, what is it that you read in my office?" Said The Father with a curious gentle look on his face.
Fei Gua calmly smiled at his father, with a happy face he said
"I read the stories and novels from the Ancient Age"
"Ohh......" The Father responded in great delight, he was delighted that his son was interested in literature, but he was also delighted that Fei Gua didn't read the journal about adults things like Prostitution, Imperial Scandal, "Bed-Position", the father would be dumbfounded and froze in sheer panic if his dear son read those kinds of document.
"I have to hide some dangerous document from my office after I get back home " The Father thought to himself.
The Father then asked Fei Gua
"Son, what is it that you have read?"
Fei Gua turn quiet for a second and tried to remember, he then calmly smiled and said
"I have finished reading Three Lives Three World, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom..."
As Fei Gua said those word, his expression turns determined, he was smiling in somewhat amazement and curiosity, just like someone who just met a hero, That was how Fei Gua expression as he said those word. the father looked at his son smile, he let out a small sigh and smiled.
"So this is the time when my children idolize someone....." He thought to himself.
The Father then asked Fei Gua with a curious smile.
"Fei Gua... What makes that novel so amazing ? ...."
Fei Gua eyes started to focus and look at the Heaven, he walked slowly and said
"Father.... How Great is the Heaven?
..... How Great is the Title God?
Being All-powerful, Mighty, and Rule The Heavens and Earth, that sounds Great and Fulfilling, I believe I'll be happy if I attain them...
And I believe... In Almost All Stories... All Man Desire to Become Powerful...
But why is it? Ye Hua, The Character in that novel, a God who has it all, he has power, beauty, title...
Why does he throw it all away for a human girl...
Why he feels the happiest when he is with her...
Why he let himself to suffer for her...
Why is Ye Hua, after he does all that thing, he let his wife chase someone who isn't him...
Father, Fei Gua doesn't understand the way Ye Hua thinks....
Fei Gua believe is The Happiness to Love and be Loved that motivate Ye Hua, I just don't understand, what exactly that he felt...
The Happiness that makes a God leave the Heaven and become ordinary mortals
I want to feel it too...

clouded vengeance...
and clouded pride... "
The father just looked at Fei Gua from afar, the sense of proudness engulfed his heart, he couldn't help himself to smile at Fei Gua. Since Fei Gua was born, Fei Gua was rarely to be amazed at something. he had always been a calm and smart child, if he wanted something, he always got it, there hasn't been any desire or target in which Fei Gua truly tried to achieve. but the Fei Gua in front of him now was different, he could feel the deep longing of his child, he could feel that this was the first time Fei Gua ever truly wanted for something.
