At Emerald City School of Magic, Lin Xia’s biggest daily headache isn’t a fireball spell going haywire. It’s the mysterious packages she keeps receiving: spicy strips from the cultivation world, a wand engraved with a QR code, and a cursed greeting card that reads, “You owe me ten years of your lifespan.”
Meanwhile, Lin Dong of the Xuantian Group is the most miserable wage slave in the cultivation world. Not only does he have to deliver takeout on his flying sword while dodging lightning tribulations, but every time he breaks through to a new realm, the ear-splitting voice of “Alipay received” rings in his ears.
Then one day, Lin Xia’s magic mirror shows an unfamiliar young man cleaving a steel dragon in two, while Lin Dong’s pill furnace explodes and spits out a magical letter: “Do you believe that on the other side of the world, someone is bearing your curse for you?”
When they discover that the Sky-Piercing Tower running through their lives conceals the sundered fate of twins; when magic and cultivation collide inside the tower and give rise to absurd rules; when every reward for climbing brings their homelands closer to collapse...
They must face the cruelest paradox of all:
Will they become mirrored lights that illuminate one another, or blades of fate that tear the lies apart?
