Lin Che, a modern history graduate student, is unexpectedly reborn on the outskirts of Xianyang, three months before the story of The Myth begins. He is the son of a declining Qin merchant family. With the complete plot of The Myth in his memory, he knows all about Yi Xiaochuan’s “saintly” nature, Gao Yao’s “corruption,” the elixir of immortality, and the secrets of the Celestial Palace. His goal is to build his own order amid the chaos, not to recreate the original story’s battle between “good and evil.”
