Justice not only arrives late, but often fails to show up at all. Because ugliness can disguise itself as justice, gaining eternal fame, while those who uphold integrity may leave no bones behind and be forgotten by the world.

"Why?" Nie Shan asked, puzzled.
Shui Qingmeng said in a deep voice, "Because as long as Hulü Mingyue is present, he cannot be himself."
The crowd was puzzled, but there came a faint voice from the ground, "So it turns out that being oneself is truly not easy."
