"Beyond the Leifeng Pagoda" is a reborn novel that subverts the classics. The thousand-year-old snake demon Bai Suzhen has returned with her memories, vowing not to flood the golden mountains with Xu Xianshui and involve innocent people again. She avoids him, saves him, and finally confesses her demon body to him, but no longer clings to love; she conquers the obsessed Xiao Qing, enlightens Fahai who is controlled by heaven, and explores the suffering of the world with Shen Yan, a wealthy official. When Leifeng Pagoda stood again, the law of heaven forced her to make the same mistake again - enter the tower to atone for her sins or watch Xu Xian's karma repay her untimely death. Bai Suzhen changed her thousand-year Taoist practice from suppressing to watching, and stayed by the tower forever. She did not act as a fairy or demon, but only as a witness of mercy in the world. This is a story about "being awake and letting go": rebirth is not a golden finger, but a heavier responsibility; the true meaning of changing one's destiny against the will of heaven is to renegotiate with the way of heaven, rather than repeating hatred or escaping deep love.
