But what he is most famous for is his Onmyōryō (Yin-Yang Bureau), which is the most prosperous Onmyōryō in all of Heian-kyo, gathering all kinds of powerful and low-level Onmyōryō in Kyoto.

As the head of the chief Onmyodo (a type of monastery), his fame is self-evident. The Onmyodo he lives in now is the same one he used to live in during his period of incredible luck.

They all knew each other, but they weren't close friends.

Through the inquisitive and studious Qiu Shui Yi Ren, they gradually became acquainted on a mountain and eventually became trusted online and offline friends.

He had no friends in real life, so he cherished his friends in Heian-kyo all the more.

They thought their lives would continue peacefully like this until they both grew tired of the game and said goodbye to each other.

Unexpectedly, the incident involving the same name that occurred midway through their relationship completely changed it.

"The beautiful woman by the autumn waters".

These four simple words represent his closest friend, Yi Ren, and also the character Xu Zi, a well-known Chinese actress, will play in her next film.

Because of a dispute over a name, Qiu Shui Yi Ren was besieged by Xu Zi's fan club and attacked from all sides.

His guild, Xinghe Yunhai, is known for its high-profile approach to things, which makes many Onmyoji (Yin-Yang Masters) dislike it.

His friend, Qianshan Muxue, is the chief guild leader of the Onmyoji guild, a god in the hearts of countless Onmyoji, and a thorn in the side of gamers and tech geeks.

For these reasons, his relationships in Heian-kyo became delicate, and many people felt that he was using Xu Zi for publicity.

Does he need to create hype?

He was bombarded with all sorts of offensive terms, such as "gay," "bear," etc., causing Qiu Shuiyi great distress.

He named one woman and took another woman's name away.

However, he didn't seem to be directly harassed much. He had a guardian protecting him, preventing tech geeks from finding his location, otherwise Xu Zi's fans would know his true identity.

He faced many threats, but they were all easily resolved.

This surprised both him and Qianshan Muxue. He had the ability in Heian-kyo, and Muxue had the strength to help him. Qiushui Yiren herself also possessed considerable strength.

As the storm subsided, he thought the matter was resolved and the competition between the Yin-Yang Bureaus began, something Qiu Shui Yi Ren eagerly anticipated.

but……

This competition turned into a personal show for Xu Zi. She deliberately set up a stage and sought out a powerful fan to attack his guild.

He and Qianshan Muxue wanted to warn him, but he was offline for those few days. When he logged on again, tragedy struck.

On the way to the duel arena, Qiu Shuiyiren was besieged by a rioting group of Xu Zi's fans. Qian Shan Muxue noticed something was wrong and went to find him. He then sensed something was amiss and went to find them...

The brawl involving dozens of people severely stimulated their brains, and he couldn't control the pressure on his brain, so he stayed in the hospital for several days.

Both Qianshan Muxue and Qiushui Yiren, despite being in different regions and hospitals, learned about each other's situations at the same time.

"The male player Qiu Haitang, who was injured along with you, has recovered. The other female player, Luo Qiushui..."

He didn't hear what the law enforcement officer said next, but one sentence echoed in his mind: Yi Ren is really a girl!

They always thought he was joking with them, and Mu Xue was depressed for a while because of it. He thought he...

I didn't expect it to all be fake.

So Qiu Shui Yi Ren is a girl. He should have realized it sooner, shouldn't he?

“That’s right, I recognized her as a girl a long time ago,” the sorcerer said knowingly.

You know?

He didn't believe it at all.

"If I said I used to be a woman, would you believe me?" the sorcerer asked him seriously, looking at him intently.

He suddenly choked.

"Old man, go to sleep, go to sleep."

"Hey! You little rascal..."

So he was her all along.

He was indeed very slow-witted.

...

The storm surrounding the namesake has truly passed and will not return, but their lives will never be the same again.

Qiu Shui Yi Ren has gone to the main storyline.

He knew about this, but he didn't believe it.

"Really?"

He repeatedly asked Ganjiang, Xue Nu, and Gui Gui in Qiushui Yiren's dormitory, and they gave him an affirmative answer.

"Mu Xue, why is she like this?"

He went to find Qianshan Muxue.

"You changed your name?!"

The snow-covered mountains before him were no longer the spirited Yin-Yang Guild Master he once was.

Why are both of them like this?

Adults are so fragile!

In this era where people know each other less, it's not surprising that fans pour all their love and recognition into Xu Zi.

But he was very surprised that both of his good friends had turned out this way.

They went back to the sorcerer and told him about it. The entire shrine of shikigami sat together and discussed it for several hours. They came to the conclusion that there was something wrong between the two of them.

"Impossible! I don't know whether their relationship is normal or not!"

"Father..."

Da Han spoke with difficulty.

"Actually, none of the three of you are normal."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

He gave Da Han a good scolding.

Although he wasn't a particularly perceptive person, he wasn't stupid either, okay? He and Mu Xue only knew that Yi Ren was a girl for a few days!

Although he vehemently denied it at the time, he later had to admit, much later, that bystanders see things more clearly than those directly involved.

It was only when those loyal shikigami had left him forever that he understood what "liking" meant.

It's not love, just knowing that you like someone is a great blessing.

Unfortunately, he found out too late.
