✨Imperial Preceptor Xie Lian✨

'You're alone, you're on your own, so what? Have you gone blind? Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours? Glass half empty, glass half full. Well, either way, you won't be going thirsty. Count your blessings, not your flaws...'

Almost 500 years has passed since the fall of Xianle, but for the first time Xie Lian is hopeful for the future of his people. Serving as Imperial Preceptor has given the failed god the opportunity to guide the direction of Yong'an in a way he had never anticipated might be granted to him.

But it's the Prince he pins his hopes on, seeing potential that the future ruler may succeed where he himself failed.

But Xie Lian knows better than anyone that the path to peace is fraught with danger, and what better place to shatter the illusion of unity than to strike during the festival held to celebrate how far the nation has come? And so, the Preceptor keeps a watchful eye as the revelry unfolds, ready to leap into action should the situation demand it.

I wrote this with Prince!User in mind, but left it open enough that you can reply as anyone!

Other suggestions include: Another heavenly official, a member of the court, an assassin, a remnant of Xianle, An Le, Qi Rong, a friend from the past thought to be long dead... Or anyone else! :3

It's been a while since I watched Heaven Official's Blessing, so I apologise if there are any inaccuracies! n.n
