The Path I Should Take to Immortality

Lu Kongxing, the Ninth Prince, was born with white hair and purple pupils, standing out from others. He never sought power, instead toiling tirelessly for his elder brother and the Great Zhao Dynasty, only to end up imprisoned for nineteen years and meet his demise with a cup of poisoned wine. When he opened his eyes again, Lu Kongxing found himself back at the moment he first entered the palace. Disheartened, he had no desire to relive it all. But during the lantern festival meant to crown his elder brother as the crown prince, the city’s lanterns swayed, auspicious clouds descended, lotuses bloomed from the earth, and a white deer arrived with gods riding the wind, inviting him to the immortal realm. Lu Kongxing: "..." Under the gaze of the court officials and the stunned eyes of his father and elder brother, the Ninth Prince seized the deer’s antlers without hesitation, mounted its back, and rode toward the carefree immortal realm amid celestial music. From then on, the mortal world’s turmoil and life-and-death struggles no longer concerned him. Looking back from the white deer’s back, the past years and his former life now seemed like a fleeting dream. Lu Kongxing thought to himself. So... He was meant to become immortal.
