Wu Xie has been reborn.
In his previous life, fate pushed him along. This time, he wants to make his own choices.
He studies ancient martial arts, learns bone-shrinking techniques and masters disguise,
then travels to the ends of the earth with a map in hand.
But no matter where he goes
deep in the desert, at the edge of the rainforest, atop a glacier, on a lonely island cliff
six figures are always chasing after him.
They are his nemeses, and they are the way home.
Zhang Qiling is as silent as a mountain range, Hei Xiazi as sly as the night wind,
Xie Yuchen as gentle as an old opera stage, Zhang Haike as stubborn as family rules,
Zhang Rishan as meticulous as a notebook, and Wang Can as silent as a shadow.
He runs; they chase.
He lays a trap; they break it.
He thinks he’s won, then turns around and finds them right behind him.
Later, an encounter in an ancient tomb makes him understand:
What he can’t escape has never been them, but their hearts.
And what they’ve been chasing has never been his footsteps,
but him.
One-line pitch: I ran halfway around the world, but I still couldn’t escape your gaze.
