Breaking Through Dimensions: A Living Dead? No, a Puppeteer

Original title: Forbidden Zone: From the Start, I Discovered That I Was Bound to Zhang Qiling

Qin Yuan x Zhang Qiling

Dark clouds pressed down on the sky, filling the view with crimson stars.

Everything was so still, as if the whole world had fallen silent. A faint wind cut through the air, leaving people’s cries of alarm behind.

Lotuses bloomed in the lake, noble and aloof, without a trace of makeup.

A hundred years ago, legend had it that an immortal plant grew in this place. Driven by human greed, many people went looking for it, but every last one of them disappeared. Those who had never entered said they could hear a woman crying on the outskirts and see strange black shadows. As time went on, no one dared come here.

Night had fallen, and everyone was asleep. In the quiet and peaceful night, a drunkard staggered down an alley.

“Drink, come on, drink.”

“You damn woman, just wait till I get home. I’ll beat you to death for daring to tattle on me, hic…”

The crescent moon sank low, veiled by sea mist. At some point, fog had risen, and in the haze, a fairy seemed to dance.

“Beautiful, hic… no one’s here. Heh heh, hic…”

A faint, elusive fragrance drifted over, intoxicating him.

The “fairy” held a lotus, every movement like a scene in a painting.

The man ran toward her with a foolish grin. Without realizing it, he had left the modern high-rises behind and found himself on a mountain path.

The beauty was dancing in the middle of a lake full of blooming lotuses. What the man failed to notice was an inconspicuous stone tablet nearby, with five large characters carved into it: Wen Su Jiutian Hu.
