Reborn: My Heart Shines Upon the Mortal World

After dying from overwork in the modern world, Su Yingluo is reborn in the Nine Provinces as an outcast daughter of a cultivation clan, her spiritual roots destroyed and everyone despising her. Bearing a blood debt and the obsessions of her past life, she had planned to repay every injury in kind, but a mysterious heart lantern unexpectedly sets her on another path.

From feuds within the family estate to trials at immortal sects, from tribulations in the mortal world to mysteries in secret realms, she meets a Confucian scholar who upholds benevolence and righteousness, a Daoist wanderer who follows the way of carefree inaction, and Buddhist monks who guide others with compassion. Through one choice after another, she gradually comes to understand that revenge is not redemption. True strength lies in seeing cause and effect clearly and still choosing to do good, in letting go of the self and using the heart lantern to illuminate the world.

See how Su Yingluo draws on her modern perspective to bring together the wisdom of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, finding clarity of mind amid turbulent schemes and cultivating compassion amid tangled love and hate. In the end, she takes goodness as her torch, lighting her own way and warming this vast mortal world.
