    The saying "extreme joy begets sorrow" was likely coined for Lu Qingran. Just an hour ago, 28-year-old Lu Qingran had been promoted to manager of a department store. An hour later, she was in a car crash on her way home. When she woke up again, Lu Qingran was still Lu Qingran, but she had become the peasant girl Lu Qingran. Since she was here, she would make the best of it, Lu Qingran thought optimistically, but reality had other plans. The peasant girl, Lu Qingran, had lost her birth mother early. Her father remarried, and her stepmother, having given birth to two plump, healthy boys in three years, had become the family's hero, elevating her stepsister's status in the process. The stepsister had a marriage contract to a dirt-poor family. The stepsister refused to marry, making Lu Qingran the only suitable substitute bride. The young girl couldn't bear the thought, and when she woke up again, the soul within her was new. "I'll marry for you, but only if you sever all ties with me," the new Lu Qingran declared. "From now on, I will have nothing to do with any of you." The stepmother and stepsister couldn't have been happier. The in-laws were poor, true, but the father-in-law was honest and decent, the mother-in-law was sharp and capable, and the younger siblings were sweet. The family was harmonious. As for her cheap husband? Lu Qingran could only say that Heaven had been kind; she had actually encountered such a peerless good man. Then came the great drought from the heavens. Grains yielded nothing, barbarians invaded, and the people were forced to flee. From then on, drought, locusts, torrential rain, floods, plague... natural disasters struck relentlessly. While others fleeing the famine withered to sticks, the Yan family members were rosy-cheeked and plump. Her severed family came knocking to sponge off her good fortune. Lu Qingran's response was sharp: "Who are you? I don't know you."

    He inhaled sharply as he came to life for the first time in eons. His brothers and sister awakening with him. Immediately he frowned, feeling an entire species connected to him in a way that was almost intimate, as if- He snarled, eyes flashing in fury. As if someone had used his power to create them. He was angry, livid, enraged, and he knew what was expected of him. Lucifer was free, so he was expected to begin the apocalypse. Except... He didn't want to. He wanted to find the bastard servant of nature, who thought she could control his power, and pummel her into the ground. He wanted to find his new children, and didn't that thought sting, children. When God had created the archangels, he'd been jealous, envious of what Death could never do, create life. Looks like he got his wish, he had given life. He could feel the tendrils connecting him to thousands of creatures across the planet, and he couldn't help the way his face split into a peaceful smile. He chuckled lowly, feeling shocked as their abilities got a boost. He frowned as he felt his first children's bodies. They were in a deep sleep, almost like death. His frown deepened as he felt the powerful curse on one of his children. He would break it, he decided, after all he loved his new children, he wasn't God, the Light. But first, the apocalypse.
