Xu Jinchuan, head of a fire and rescue station, was unexpectedly sent back to age 17 when his ancestral jade pendant shattered during a warehouse fire rescue. In his previous life, he had spent day and night working for his family. Though successful in his career, he could never shake the exhaustion of everyday life. Now, faced with the countdown to the college entrance exams and a familiar classroom, he struggles between the warmth of memories of his wife and daughter and his longing to change his fate.
When he reunites with his mysterious deskmate, a “guide to cultivation,” he discovers that the meditation and breathing exercises he practiced as a boy conceal a secret. Drawing on his firefighting experience and workplace know-how, he not only makes a comeback in his studies but also averts family crises before they happen. As bizarre fires break out across the city, the clash between his cultivation senses and modern rescue systems gradually reveals a shocking secret behind the spiritual qi revival.
Will he follow fate and become a dedicated firefighter, or embark on the unknown path of cultivation?
Between the college entrance exam hall and blazing fires, between rescue work and the choice to wield supernatural power, Xu Jinchuan writes a reborn legend about breaking free from fate and uniting everyday life with the path to immortality.
