This is a tale of an ordinary person cultivating immortality. Its characters believe in light and progress. Time passes in silence, and wherever they go, there is the promise of an autumn harvest. It is also a way to turn the tide even at the end of the world, allowing all life to endure and thrive, always moving forward, giving free rein to unease and the most beautiful colors. I believe everything fills the oil-painted world on these pages. The uncertainties of time and the warmth of love bring every character to life. I love everything about my work. This is a book where dead wood blooms again, swaying upward on the strong autumn winds. I am Jinche Guanxi, and I have brought Niu Er Tasha, Chen Yang, Ren Zheng, the Grim Reaper, the Devil, and even Qing You and Salem at the end. Here I am.
