Real immortals never lack myths and legends, but it's hard for these stories to spread widely.
Because the recorded myths and legends only reflect the side of immortals helping those in need; the characters are not three-dimensional enough, and ordinary people's recognition levels can't tell the difference.
Immortals who become widely known and popular usually have distinct personalities.
For example, Lv Dongbin, or the Erlang God.
Immortals recorded in novels are usually well known, but they receive less incense offerings because their personas are too three-dimensional, making ignorant believers not able to worship them easily.
For example, Nezha and the Monkey.
Love is the same.
Love in books is often full of romance and beauty, but in real life, you pretty much never encounter it.
Real-life love is too bland and not stimulating enough for those young ones overwhelmed by hormones.
Wang Yunxiao never felt that his love with Li Mumu had reached a life-or-death stage.
