Fate in the Mirror of Myriad Forms

Lin Xi, a history student, inherits a family heirloom: an ancient mirror, on his twentieth birthday. That night, he falls asleep and transmigrates into Journey to the West as Little Drill Wind, a minor demon patrolling Lion Camel Ridge, just as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's Golden Cudgel is about to come crashing down.

At the point of despair, he awakens the ability known as the “Pen of Inner Thoughts.” Without saying a word, he can secretly rewrite other people's thoughts. Through clever maneuvering, he narrowly escapes what should have been certain death.

From then on, countless worlds open up to him. Tonight, he's an unnamed foot soldier on a Three Kingdoms battlefield; tomorrow, he's a detached man of letters in Dream of the Red Chamber. He holds a pen that can rewrite people's minds, yet is bound by the ironclad rule that history must not be changed. Between the cracks of history, he searches for a way for ordinary people to survive.

He thinks these are simply a series of endless survival games, until he meets Mo Qingyi, a fellow traveler as cool and distant as the moon, whom he has encountered several times across different timelines, and the mirror spirit awakens... Only then does he understand that every time he transmigrates, the stability of the river of history is at stake.

With a pen that can rewrite people's minds in hand, he walks the line between reality and illusion. He is a guardian of history and the one who breaks open the fates of countless ordinary people.

Highlights: Infinite worlds and random identities, with plenty of clever mind games; a profound theme about protecting ordinary lives amid grand historical events; and suspense and romance woven together.
