The Dragon Who Emerged from the Mountains

To the tune of “Farewell, My Friend,” Yu Huannan sang again and again, accompanied by Zhang Rou’s zither: “I drink alone and think of you, love and hate linger, but our hate can never be mended! Your smiling face is now a memory, and I never got to hold your jade-like hand!” His singing was mournful and heartbreaking! How could someone as clever as Zhang Rou fail to realize it was an acrostic poem? The first character of each line spelled out: “I love Zhang Rou”! “He clearly has feelings for me, so why can’t we be together? Is this the last time we’ll work together?” Remembering the hardships they had shared, and the life-and-death struggles they had faced alongside the people of Yanbao Village, Zhang Rou couldn’t hold back her tears. The zither fell silent as well...! This is a transmigration and cultivation novel unlike the others, with clear, logical storytelling and a tightly woven plot. Its twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat! Things that seem like foreshadowing at first may turn out, in the end, to make perfect sense! The beginning is a little slow, but the story gets more and more exciting as it goes on! The protagonist, Yu Huannan, is on his way back from a blind date in Nanyue when he has a few drinks, gets on his bike, and is tragically involved in an accident. By a twist of fate, he transmigrates to another world. The street-corner qigong technique he used in his previous life to deal with insomnia can actually absorb spiritual energy in this world, where such energy still exists.

He constantly misses his family and longs to go home. Could the strange old man’s words in his dreams guide him back?
