CHAPTER 1 - THE LEGACY OF THE IMMORTAL EMPEROR
In the northern region of the Summer Kingdom, at Luo City's First People's Hospital.
"Let's break up, Wang Lin!"
A glamorous woman looked disdainfully at Wang Lin, who lay wrapped in bandages on the hospital bed as if he were trash.
"Why?"
"Xue'er, did I do something wrong?"
Upon hearing that the woman wanted to break up, Wang Lin felt his heart was torn apart. He had been in love with Qin Xue for three years, and it was incomprehensible that she would choose to leave him when he needed her the most.
"There's no 'Why.' I'm about to become Yang Yang's woman, the young mistress of the Yang family!
And you? You're nothing but a waste now.
So, I have to sever all ties with my past.
I can't let you be a stumbling block on my path to success."

Mentioning the Yang family, Qin Xue's face filled with pride. After all, joining the Yang family was tantamount to soaring unprecedented heights.
Upon hearing about the Yang family, Wang Lin's face turned ashen. He was well aware of the Yang family's prominence in Luo City. Even the company he currently worked for was just a minor subsidiary of the Yangs.
He never imagined that Qin Xue would latch onto such a mighty family tree.
Indeed, becoming the young mistress of the Yang family was a dream many girls aspired to, and Qin Xue was no exception.
Even Wang Lin himself had fantasized about joining the Yang family countless times. Even a janitorial or security position within the family's enterprise would be more prestigious than his current managerial role in a smaller company.
However, Wang Lin also knew that he would never have the opportunity to enter the Yang family in his lifetime.
"Is that so... "
"I understand. I won't bother you anymore..."
As he spoke these words, Wang Lin felt all the light drained from his world.
He had devoted three years of love and affection to Qin Xue. Even with a high fever, he immediately appeared before her at her slightest beck and call.
And all he got in return was this merciless abandonment!
"Take this money, consider it a parting gesture..." Qin Xue took out five bundles of cash from her handbag, totaling fifty thousand, and placed it in front of Wang Lin.
"I don't want it..."
Wang Lin leaned back against the headboard, his eyes unfocused as he stared at the ceiling, as if his soul had left his body.
"I'm giving it to you; take it. What are you putting on airs for? You can't even scrape together a hundred bucks," Qin Xue said contemptuously. "You had to borrow money from friends to cover your hospital bills, right?"
"I said I don't want it!
Get out!
Leave!"
Wang Lin roared angrily, "Qin Xue, as of today, we are done. You go your way, and I'll go mine. We owe each other nothing!"

Seeing Wang Lin's outburst, Qin Xue looked down on him even more. "Wang Lin, can you act like a man? It's just a breakup. Is it necessary to react like this?"
"Heh, Xue, as I told you, he's a waste," a well-dressed man said, entering the room.
"My love, you're here..." Qin Xue's demeanor instantly changed to that of a timid, doting woman as she softly looked at the man.
"You're Wang Lin, right?"
"Let me let you in on a secret: your injuries were orchestrated by Xue and me," Yang Yang whispered into Wang Lin's ear as he approached the bedside. "And seriously, I wonder if you're even a man. You've been with her for three years, and you haven't even slept with her.
Take the fifty thousand for your medical bills, haha!"
With that, Yang Yang left the room, arm around Qin Xue's slender waist.
Once outside, Qin Xue playfully linked arms with Yang Yang, "My love, shall we go eat?"
"Sure, I have something special for you to eat later."
"Hee hee, stop it…"
Back in the hospital room, Wang Lin lay there staring blankly at the ceiling. At this moment, he had lost all will to live.
Only now did he realize that his broken ribs were the work of Qin Xue. He had always wondered why he, someone who never offended anyone, was brutally beaten by thugs.
"So she pretended to be innocent and concerned about me? A woman's heart truly is the most poisonous."
"Wang Lin, your test results are back. There's some bad news I need to tell you. Brace yourself," said a doctor, walking in with the medical report.
"Just say it, Doctor. I can take it," said Wang Lin, his heart already numb from betrayal. "What could be worse than this?"
"Based on your test results, you're in the late stages of stomach cancer. You have at most three months to live. I suggest you contact your family," said the doctor before leaving the room.
"Heh, late-stage cancer, isn't that something," Wang Lin let out a bitter laugh. "Family? I'm an orphan; what family do I have?"
Time seemed to stretch indefinitely, but eventually, Wang Lin appeared to make up his mind, his eyes reflecting newfound resolve. With great effort, he climbed out of the hospital bed and shakily made his way to the elevator in the corridor.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and Wang Lin stepped inside, pressing the button for the top floor. As the elevator's display ticked upward, so did his heartbeat.
Finally, he arrived at the tenth floor, the building's rooftop. Wang Lin exited the elevator and laboriously climbed onto the rooftop parapet. Looking down, he screamed, "Aaaaah!" unleashing his pent-up anguish.
"Someone's trying to jump!"
Hearing the scream, people on the ground looked up and saw Wang Lin standing on the edge. Someone immediately called the police. Security officers quickly dispersed the crowd below and sent people rushing to the rooftop, hoping to talk Wang Lin down.
After venting his emotions momentarily, Wang Lin took the plunge without hesitation. The crowd that had just arrived on the rooftop was stunned; they hadn't expected him to be so persistent.
"Ah, I never thought my kindred spirit would be like me, perhaps even worse off," a voice sighed in Wang Lin's mind.
"What a pity, how tragic, how lamentable!"
"I am the Immortal Emperor Wang Xuan. Since fate has brought us together, I'll lend you a helping hand by giving you all of my remaining power."
"After this, I will disperse into the universe. I hope you won't disappoint me after receiving my legacy."
As the voice trailed off, Wang Lin felt a warm force surge into his body, instantly making him feel lighter. Just as he was about to hit the ground, instinct took over; he flipped mid-air and landed gracefully on his feet.
