On the day of Awakening of Insects, no thunder sounded in Yunlai Village. As seventeen-year-old Gu Changning chopped wood in the rear courtyard of the Taoist temple, the heart beating in his chest, a heart that did not belong to him, suddenly throbbed. An ancient voice awoke inside him: “Thirteenth life. I am here.” He is no monster. He is the divine consciousness of the previous Spring True Lord, scattered through reincarnation. After twelve lives ended in premature death, he is the fourteenth Host to survive. Before he was born, his mother, Cang Shu, turned all her cultivation into stone and sealed the remnant soul inside him for seventeen years. Now the seal has broken, and the thunder of Awakening of Insects erupts from within him. The Kui recognizes him as its master, and the Eastern Azure Dragon Domain trembles. Forced to leave Yunlai Village, he sets out to find the truth, while Li Guizhen, head of the Celestial Timing Bureau, has already opened the register of Awakening of Insects Envoys at the Stop War Terrace.
Along the way, he meets Jiang Xuechu, a girl of the Vermilion Bird remnants who can “hear iron weeping.” The two fight fiercely over half of a lightning-struck tree, unaware that the charred wood, split by the same thunderbolt of Awakening of Insects, is a token their mothers carved for them deep within a mine. The Five Elements turn in their cycles, and the divine envoys of the twenty-four solar terms each have their own loyalties. Some come to hunt him, some to confirm something, and some are simply waiting for an answer. From the pine winds of the Azure Dragon Domain to the sulfurous breezes of the Vermilion Bird Domain, from hammer marks on a sword-testing stone to handprints deep in the mines, he will finally understand: his mother did not seal him away. She left a seed of thunder inside its shell, waiting for him to split spring open with his own hands. When the dormant thunder finally strikes, he will know: the thunder did not come to kill him. It came to find him. And summer is only just beginning.
It's nice to read, the writing is smooth, and it looks very comfortable. The plot is also very stable, which gave me a feeling of peace of mind. It's just that I discovered this book too early and it's not enough to read.
