Synopsis

I once thought love was the most powerful curse in the world. Until she used that very curse to lock herself away in the abyss of higher-dimensional algorithms, trading her life for mine. My name is Li Zhen. I'm a programmer. My girlfriend, Yu Ying, is the star game master at a board game cafe. One rainy night, she vanished, leaving behind a watch engraved with “Sanity: ∞” and a cryptic message: “Wait until you can ‘see.’” I “saw.” Neon lights became torn static, and human voices turned into shrieks of corrupted audio. And my lover, fighting in a bloodbath against the “Temperers,” was known as the “Jade-Faced Yama.” To find her, I touched the truth they'd buried: /Ancient text excerpt/ “The Heart-Guarding Form” is a basic cultivation method. Refined to its utmost, it becomes the forbidden art known as the “Heart-Refining Curse”: wield the heart as a blade to cut through illusion and shatter delusion. It is a duel of souls, a wager of life and death between hearts. The winner takes all; the loser is reduced to a wandering soul. End of ancient text excerpt/ They say I possess a “pure heart,” one found in ten thousand, and that I am the “Root” account with the highest access privileges. But when I grip this “heart-blade” that can decide what exists, all I hear is the song she hummed before she disappeared. Refine the heart to its utmost, and it can cut through every illusion. But if the final illusion I must break is the endless loop she filled with her life How can I bring this blade down?

Please Recommend Engrossing Tomato Novels Without Stupid Plotting

Villain, urban, or fantasy novels are all fine 😊 I'm a seasoned reader of ten years, so please don't recommend beginner-level novels; I can't get into them. I'm older now and hope to read something with a well-reasoned, tightly plotted story. I don't mind power fantasies, but I don't want everyone else to act stupid just to make the protagonist look smart.

Protagonists with Unshakable Faith, Strong Will, and a Sense of Justice

The protagonist should have strong faith and conviction, and stand up for what's right. The supporting cast and villains shouldn't be idiots. I'm tired of cookie-cutter, mindless wish-fulfillment stories. I want something that fills you with faith and spirit, a true source of spiritual nourishment.
