Lightborn

Zhai Nian, a modern female engineer who died suddenly due to overwork, traveled with her soul to the dark underground where there was always darkness, and became an orphan adopted by the pragmatic but exclusive group of gray-bearded dwarves. She soon discovered that her body contained a forbidden power that was incompatible with the underground world - blood of light. The dwarf elders attempted to use her blood to complete ancient rituals and reap the benefits behind the crystal wall. Armed with engineering knowledge and a keen intuition for "system loopholes," Zhai Nian must survive between the two forces. She uses modern management and basic physics knowledge to unite the oppressed minority races and low-level dwarves underground, improve production, establish a base, and at the same time explore the truth about her own bloodline and the crystal wall. Her goal is not to become an exploited key or a persecuted heretic, but to use an engineer's thinking to analyze the underlying rules of the world, find a way to break the "cage" and bring real "controllable light" and living space to the underground world. When the white flame that can analyze and burn through the laws of the crystal wall ignites in her palm, a war about the definition of freedom, the way out of civilization, and the lies of theocracy is ignited. --- This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
