Are you tired of System-style transmigration stories?
No pop-ups, no gift packs, no restarting from a save point.
Lin Yuheng, who had worked overtime until the early hours, brushed his fingertip against half of a chipped jade pendant passed down by his grandmother, then plunged headfirst into five parallel lives.
In a remote Northern Song village, he is a menial in a demonic cult, hated by everyone, until he stumbles upon the truth behind the orthodox and demonic factions: the “demonic cult” protects the people by maintaining the formation, while the “orthodox sect” seizes land in pursuit of jade.
In the northwestern deserts, he is a laborer forced to dig graves, but unearths a secret buried for a thousand years: the royal tomb is a decoy, and beneath it lies an ancient irrigation hub. The tomb guardians are protecting the people's means of survival.
In the bustling port city, he keeps a machine factory on the verge of bankruptcy afloat, stubbornly preserving the spark of national industry amid the silver rush.
On a desolate planet in the stars, he is the logistics officer aboard a crashed scientific expedition ship, and comes to understand why an ancient civilization left: it wasn't destroyed; it chose to journey into the sea of stars.
Only after making these journeys does he understand: he thought he was setting out to mend other people's regrets, but in the end, he was mending his own: the apologies he never spoke, the obsessions he never let go, and the self he never reconciled with.
The chipped half-pendant grows smoother with every polish. It is a fragment of an ancient world-jade, and it is also his own heart.
On the day he gathers the five keepsakes scattered across the different worlds, two choices lie before him: restart his life and rewrite every regret, or turn back and accept his imperfect self.
Which would you choose?
