Gu Yanqing, the last descendant of a secretive family with psychic powers, is the “Man in the Mirror,” able to reflect the abyss within people's hearts.
He is used to keeping his distance from everyone, because every time he gets close, he must endure the raging torrents in their hearts. Their obsessions and trauma, with nowhere else to go, appear as vivid reflections on the calm, mirror-like lake of his mind.
In his final year of high school, his quiet world was disrupted by someone named Lin Qiye.
He discovered that the veil over this world was astonishingly thin, and that Lin Qiye was heading toward a fate that would put him at odds with the gods.
From “Mirror Lake” to the battlefield of the gods, Gu Yanqing uses himself as a mirror, recreating his enemies' obsessions and reflecting his companions' trauma. In the most detached way, he protects the connections he cherishes most.
It is also the story of his journey with Lin Qiye as they fight the madness and darkness of the entire world.
[The Man in the Mirror]
I reflect the countless obsessions of this world, only to see the stars in your eyes more clearly.
