Fellow Daoist, wait a moment. Would you hear me out?
Follow the way and become human; go against it and become an immortal. The mystery lies in turning things upside down.
Evade Heaven's will, avoid cause and effect, and countless shackles bind the true self.
Follow Heaven's will, fulfill cause and effect, and only today do I know that I am myself.
Once I attain the Dao and see my true self, why should I fear the shackles of the past?
The shackles of this world are but a dream. Formless, formless, and without a self.
The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao. Seek the Great Dao,
seek the Ultimate Dao. The Dao is in you, in me, and in the halls of power, amid the mortal world.
All we seek is a clear and untroubled heart.
The road ahead is long, with mountains high. Don't forget that we met here.
(Kind reminder: This is not a wish-fulfillment novel. The early story has a lot going on and moves slowly. There is no female lead in the early chapters.)
After watching so many feel-good dramas, reading this suddenly brought a sense of relief. It was a clash between dreams and reality, a fusion of regret and fantasy, and I felt truly at peace. The only downside is that updates are a little slow 🤭
This book sounds good, quite in line with my taste, but the updates are too short, it looks like a brand new book. Mainly, I've read too many fast-paced, action-packed novels, I need something more substantial. I'm the first reviewer!
