The Realm of Reincarnation

The Realm of Reincarnation is a Chinese-style infinite-flow novel blending suspense, history, and philosophical reflection. Chen Jing awakens in an upside-down ancient city, a mysterious rune appearing on his left hand, and is forced to join a survival game called “Seven-Day Reincarnation.” Participants must reconstruct the truth of history by interpreting fragments of memory. Anyone who lies will have precious memories taken from them.

As they delve deeper, Chen Jing allies with Su Qing, a medical student, Zhao Mingzhu, a historian, and others, discovering that the city is actually a “backup vault for human memory.” The older the era, the more severely its district is inverted, and each dynasty seals away forgotten collective memories. The appearance of a mysterious girl, Xiao Qi, reveals an even greater mystery: she was a failure from the previous cycle of reincarnation.

When the Seven Star Envoys appear one by one, the team learns the ultimate purpose of the Realm of Reincarnation: to select a “New Empress Wa” capable of carrying all the memories of human civilization. At pivotal historical moments, including Qin’s book burning, the An Lushan Rebellion in the Tang dynasty, and the fall of the Song at Yashan, their choices will rewrite reality. Chen Jing gradually realizes that his own memories have already been worn away through countless cycles of reincarnation.

In the end, faced with the choice between becoming an eternal guardian or destroying the memory vault, the team proposes a third path: establishing a “Republic of Memory,” where everyone shares the responsibility of safeguarding civilization’s memories. This is the ultimate struggle over memory, forgetting, and the survival of civilization.
