Literally all the lyrics fit perfectly.

„If I held in my hands everything the world could buy I‘d still not have a thing worth giving you“

Tell me this is not something he‘d say. Nothing is truly worthy enough for his god.

„You tell me the sun is shining in paradise and I have to watch your lips turn blue“

The unfairness with wich Xie Lian is treated/Xie Lian getting banished from heaven/also makes me think of that scene where he‘s a ghost fire and tries to warm Xie Lian

„I would burn the world to bring some heat to you“

He would do anything for Xie Lian

„You are the reason I went through it“

Xie Lian is the reason he stayed alive, fought in the war, took on the resentful spirits of the human face disease and fought through mount tonglu to become a ghost king

„The only meaning as I knew it“

Him taking Xie Lian as his meaning to live

„And I can only do my best, I do not do this for myself, I‘d walk through hell on living feet for you“

He isn‘t doing this out of any „selfish“ desire to be loved by his god, he doesn‘t do it „for himself“

„I wouldn‘t be seen walking through any door, some place that you‘re not welcome to“

As OP said, Hua Cheng refusing to stay in heaven and become a god because Xie Lian isn‘t there and was banished

„You stare at the faces smiling from somewhere warm, from some place the sunlight won‘t come through“

Again the unfairness with wich Xie Lian has been treated, but it especially made me think of the 33 gods

empathy:

is responding to a person’s emotions by experiencing the same emotion as them (i.e. feeling sad when something sad happens to that person, or happy when something happy happens to that person.)

is an automatic response that cannot be controlled

cannot be learned

sympathy:

is recognizing that another person is in pain, even if you do not experience that pain, and offering comfort to that person

is something a person must actively choose to do

can be learned

compassion:

is showcasing care and support via words and actions

is something a person must actively choose to do

can be learned

if you need an example of a person with no empathy who practices sympathy and compassion, look no further than data from star trek: the next generation. he doesn’t have emotions at all, but he’s still kind to people and wants to help them.

"for heavens' sake" kills me. he's so unimpressed. he's so annoyed olly is tapping out early. qifrey was ready to finish that third bottle lmao.

and the next day olly is hungover on the couch while qifrey, who drank as much as olly, is up and about attending to the house and kids. levels.

like what do you mean the kids know how to identify hungover olly how often do they find him like that 😭

and no wonder qifrey gets so pissed when olly goes off drinking recklessly cause he knows the man is a total lightweight lmfao. like imagine the shit he's seen since they were teenagers. i'm sure teenage olly was even worse.

and of course he's annoyed cause qifrey knows he's gonna have to deal with this mess afterwards lmaooo

but at the same time, despite all that, i love that qifrey's usually game to join in 🙂‍↕️

"If it's any consolation, you will be hailed as a hero"

Really like how this turned out! :D
