Synopsis

In this world, countless lives were never allowed to reach their end.

Some practiced the sword for a hundred years and cleaved open the Heavenly Gate with a single strike. Some stood alone in a besieged city, never seeing reinforcements arrive before they died. Some reached the pinnacle, only to perish in darkness on the eve of becoming an immortal.

They are dead, but their dreams are not over.

Bai Ye can borrow their lives.

Borrow one person's life, and he gains everything they learned in it. Borrow the lives of countless people, and he can walk a path beyond the reach of ordinary people. But every time he borrows a life, he incurs a debt of wishes. If he cannot fulfill the other person's unfinished wish, the memories, obsessions, and identities lingering in their dreams will gradually seep into his consciousness.

The more lives he borrows, the stronger he becomes, and the harder it is to tell whether he is mastering the dreams of the dead or being changed, bit by bit, by the lives they left behind.

When a night patrol lantern that had been missing for eighty years lights up again, the vanished Thirteenth Lantern Patrol begins to “return to the city,” and dream ruins lying dormant across the land awaken one after another. The last clue left by Bai Ye's father, who disappeared seven years ago, also points to a bronze door that must never be opened again.

Someone is waiting for him beyond the door, while someone else is doing everything they can to keep him away.

To find his father and hold on to his true self, Bai Ye must fulfill the final wishes of those who never reached their destination, turning each extinguished life into a flame that lights the road ahead. Though he was born without a fate of his own, he will use the strength left behind by countless others to forge a path to heaven that belongs to him alone.

But as more and more lives awaken within him, he will have to face the real question:

Is he the one borrowing dreams, or is he the one being borrowed by the dreams of the dead?

New Writers, Come On In

It's so upsetting to keep seeing the stats barely change. The reader count doesn't go up at all, and there isn't a single comment. Hardly anyone reads the whole book, and by the last chapter, almost no one is still reading. New authors, let's support one another.
