Longzhou 101984

[Cultivation] [Sci-Fi] [Slow-Burn Romance] [Not a Fluffy Read] In the ten-thousandth year since humanity was founded, the human race has gradually recovered from the civil war of ten thousand years ago. It rules the Nine Provinces, holds all races under its heel, and has once again entered an age of prosperity that will never decline. But in this tenth millennium, when material wealth is abundant beyond measure, the shadows of human nature keep spreading beneath the glittering lights, dragging everyone into a whirlpool of misery and repeating the cycle of rise and fall. Ling Yu came from Qingzhou. She lost most of her memories while crossing the dimensional barrier, but was unexpectedly picked up by Yaoguang, newly arrived in office. She witnessed the deep darkness at the heart of that golden age and was swept into one whirlpool of conflict after another. She used her own flames to light the way, but also burned away the seemingly eternal illusion of a bubble world, leaving only scorched earth. Now she must rebuild her ideal kingdom upon that wasteland. But can the world inside this shell truly take root and grow as she wishes? Shadows from beyond arrive in secret, and lost souls from another world become an incurable disease in this one, leaving it to cling to life through one cycle of destruction and creation after another. In this world doomed to perish, what choices can the people trapped inside the jar make, and where can they find even a brief moment of happiness?
