The cultivation art I practice is called the Reversed Meridians Record.
Every time I break through a level, I permanently forget someone dear to me.
I forgot my childhood companion, my mother’s smile, the eyes of my childhood sweetheart.
When the seventh rune appeared on my wrist, I finally realized
It wasn’t just my feelings that I had forgotten.
I had also forgotten the true culprit behind the massacre of my family.
And the thousand-year conspiracy of my sect.
And why the girl who brought me soup every day kept coming with a smile, even though she knew I would forget her.
Until one day, she handed me a bowl of soup.
A piece of cloth lay at the bottom.
A piece torn from my clothes, which she had held onto all her life.
She said, “Senior Brother, it’s time to remember.”
A work destined to remain in memory "Reverse Pulse Record" is an "anti-routine" fairy tale novel. It is not satisfied with telling a story about becoming stronger, but asks: after becoming stronger, are you still you? In this era that pursues "refreshment", it chooses "pain"; in this world of cultivation that advocates "letting go", it chooses "persistence"; in this immortal system that advocates "ruthlessness", it chooses "affection". The process of reading "Reverse Pulse Record" is like watching a mirror slowly cracking - in the mirror is the protagonist Lin Wansheng, and outside the mirror is ourselves. We have all sacrificed time, health, emotions, and even part of ourselves for certain goals in reality. Lin Wansheng's forgetfulness is nothing more than an extreme metaphor for our alienation. Finally, I want to say: This is a work that requires courage to read. Because it does not promise happiness, only promises truth; it does not give comfort, only giving thinking. But it is this kind of reality and thinking that gives it value beyond genre literature. Looking forward to the author completing this cruel and beautiful story. I hope Lin Wansheng can finally rebuild the meaning of "human" on the ruins - not only for him, but also for us readers who have more or less "forgotten" something in reality. What impressed me most about "Reverse Pulse Record" is its subversive questioning of the traditional Xianxia values of "being too supreme to forget one's feelings." While all immortality novels teach people to "let go", this work asks: What is left after letting go? The emotional line between Lin Wansheng and Su Yan is the soul of the whole book. This is not a simple love between son and daughter, but two people destined to be forgotten, salvaging each other in the torrent of forgetfulness. Su Yan uses photography to burn memories, and Lin Wansheng uses the oath of his heart to fight against forgetfulness - these details bring warmth to the cold world of immortality. The most shocking sentence is: "If I am destined to forget you, then while I still remember you, please let me look at you one more time." This is not a love word, but a disappearing person's last attachment to existence itself.
