Lin Yue never imagined that the screen of light that suddenly appeared before her eyes would completely change the way she saw the world. The “Myriad Realms Experience System” was an existence that let her freely travel through all kinds of legendary stories. Best of all, it was perfectly safe: she could come and go whenever she pleased, at no cost.
At last, this gave her the chance to seek answers to the questions that had long haunted her.
She had always felt that “The Little Mermaid” should be more than a sorrowful tale of a mermaid sacrificing herself for love. The depths of the ocean must hold the secrets of a far grander civilization. Perhaps the courage to leap into the foam pointed to a devotion greater than love.
She couldn’t understand why the Seventh Fairy in “The Fairy Couple” had to give up her immortal nature and become mortal for Dong Yong. Beneath this choice, which seemed to be a simple pursuit of love, were there deeper bonds and hardships between the realms of immortals and mortals?
And then there was “The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl,” passed down for thousands of years. Was the Milky Way separating the lovers really nothing more than a barrier imposed by heavenly law? She had a feeling that behind the parting lamented by generations lay an even more moving story of devotion and protection.
With the privileges granted by the System, Lin Yue ventured deep into one story after another. She parted the fog of hearsay and shattered misunderstandings simplified over time, discovering that these familiar legends held truths far more dazzling than the rumors suggested. Overlooked greatness, misunderstood devotion, and grand tales reduced to simple accounts all gradually came to light through her search.
It turned out that beneath those colorless retellings lay such vibrant life.
And so…
