Chronicles of Wind and Cloud

Under the turning gears of fate, every soul carries countless versions of "me."

When a modern surgeon transmigrates into the role of a scapegoat consort in a palace intrigue drama, she wields penicillin and chemical equations like blades, cutting through the truth behind the schemes of the imperial palace. Alongside an emperor who may be a fellow transmigrator and a maimed secret guard, she investigates the beta mystery left behind by the late emperor. Meanwhile, in another sea of stars, geneticist Zhou Mo cultivates an eternal rose on the alien planet B612, only to become entangled in a deadly conflict involving his wife, Wei Mei, and a project to create artificial flowers. Amid a love-hate affair spiraling out of control across the stars, what is being torn apart: a specimen of love, or a shared obsession woven from flesh and blood?

Chemical murder plots within palace walls, data prisons in rose gardens, ten versions of "me" battling and replacing one another through blood and fire across time and space. Here, poison stains the phoenix seal red, lies are watered with starlight, someone splits open their ribs to plant a thorny eternity, and someone else dredges up lost wreckage from the cracks in time. When every cycle points to the same end, can killing the past let the morning dew of the future wash away the smoke of battle?

With a dazzling and uncanny touch, Mo Youbai weaves a journey of self-rebirth spanning the ages and crossing the stars. Classical political intrigue collides with hard science fiction. Palace schemes under the microscope and roses encoded in DNA are all ten layers of sacrifice to "kill the old self."
