Journey to the Mountains and Seas: Shadows Beneath the Lamp of Ten Thousand Lives

[Dual male leads] Qiu × Ming

Xiao Mingming, a modern man, transmigrates into the body of Xiao Qiushui from The Heroic Legend of Shenzhou after using a magic tome to adapt the novel. At first, all he wants is to survive in this unfamiliar ancient world. The System's arrival forces him to follow the plot, and gradually his heart grows warm. He slowly comes to care for these people and form bonds with them.

In time, he discovers that Xiao Qiushui's soul is still there. They share one body, and once they learn of each other's existence, they become friends who can talk about anything.

But later, over the Xiao family's affairs, Xiao Mingming refuses to let Xiao Xilou and his wife meet the same fate as in the original. In a fit of rage, he destroys the System, and his memories return. It turns out he came to this world long ago.

After the System is destroyed, Xiao Mingming finally learns Li Nan's whereabouts. The battle at Xianren Pass and the turmoil in the martial world of the Great Xi are both being fueled by Li Nan's Eagle Flute. This time, Li Chenzhou and Zhao Shirong are both still alive, and Huanhua has not been destroyed. The original ending seems to have changed, and everything appears to be moving in the best possible direction. But is that really the case?

After they eliminate the Eagle Flute, they discover an even greater force lurking behind it. This mysterious power is far stronger than Li Nan's Eagle Flute, yet its goal is not to dominate the martial world or help the Northern Wilderness army conquer the Great Xi...

The prophecy of the foreign man in the Astrologer's Tower; the thirty-three stone steps of the Golden Pagoda altar, stained red with blood; joy and revulsion, kinship and hatred intertwining. He loves him, yet hates him too...

The shadows intertwined beneath the lamplight are like a tangled bond spanning countless lifetimes. When they meet again, will either of them be able to let go of what happened all those years ago?
