Jiang Yan had been having the same dream every night for over a month... As an overworked wage slave, she spent her days laboring just to get by, only to be tormented by nightmares at night. She tried taking a prescription sedative, but fell into a sleep she couldn’t wake from, and the dream kept going. Her terrified roommate called 120 early one morning.
Her boss thought she’d been pushed too hard by the recent workload and might be on the verge of doing something drastic. He quickly gave her a few days off so she could get some proper rest over the weekend.
As she caught up on sleep during the day, Jiang Yan thought, If I have nightmares at night, surely I won’t have them during the day...
“Hey, little Taoist, don’t you think that makes sense?” Jiang Yan said, clinging to a young man in Taoist robes.
“Miss, my religious name is Guizhi. My given name is Qi Yi.” The tall, handsome young man with delicate features pried her off as he answered.
“Fine, fine, Guizhi. Did your master teach you how to break this dream?” Jiang Yan stumbled as he pried her off, then hurriedly hid behind him to ask.

“Qi Yi, what do you think a world at peace looks like?”
“Maybe... it looks like the future...”
