Summary

In a dream, Molin lives through a life that falls from the highest peak to the lowest depths. When he wakes, he finds himself back in a world saturated with spiritual energy—Buling Mountain. There he meets Luo Huan again, the girl he has longed for day and night. Yet her heart seems to belong to someone else. Though he saves Luo Huan, whose spiritual meridians are abnormal, Molin chooses to leave a wooden talisman behind and quietly descends the mountain. In Luyin Town, a dispute over a stone talisman with a white-robed young man named Yan Ge draws him into a conflict among talismans and cultivators. Reality and dreams intertwine as Molin keeps asking: which side is real? Without his beloved, what would it matter even if he became a god? The story unfolds around Molin's dream reversion, the regrets of a past life, and his pursuit in this one, balancing emotion and adventure.

Editor's review

This book suits female-oriented fantasy readers who enjoy dream transmigration and rebirth-redemption themes. Its highlights are delicate emotional writing, the reversal setup between dream and reality, and Molin's deep obsession with Luo Huan. The prose is fluent and the atmosphere well built, but the pacing is slow, the cultivation system and romance thread are somewhat tangled, and the later conflicts unfold a little hastily. Best for patient serial readers who prefer emotion-driven stories.
