    AI recommends this gem of a book, a tale of action and intrigue, sharp and visceral, without unnecessary dragging, harem tropes, or insulting intelligence. This is a hidden gem whose title doesn't do it justice—the battles are decisive and swift, with no unnecessary dialogue. Absolutely original, the plot defies imagination, and avoids the clichéd cultivation storyline. The protagonist is reborn in 1980s China, witnessing the tumultuous historical process and rising from the lowest rungs of society. The author's depiction of the immortal realm and the so-called divine realm completely breaks away from traditional cultivation settings, taking you into an unprecedented extraordinary world…

I was born with a weak water element in my birth chart, lacking a stable ferry crossing in my life. My mother named me Lin Du, hoping that I would help others and myself, and live a peaceful life. I have lived a mediocre and impoverished life for half my life, humbly bowing my head for love, working to make ends meet, and giving my sincere heart to others in vain. In the dead of night when the power was out, in a cramped bathroom in an urban village, I encountered Duan Yuansi, a lonely ghost in white who had been waiting for me for a hundred years. With tears of blood in her eyes, she softly called for her husband, and placed her life-bound soul object, sealed for a hundred years, into my palm, dispersing her remnant soul, just to return what belonged to me from my past life. Heartbroken, betrayed by my beloved, humiliated by my best friend, worldly suffering followed one after another. In a midnight dream, I glimpsed my past life's true form: clad in green robes, carrying a sword, bearing the Daoist name Wuxiang, once a peerless being surpassing all others. A once weak mortal youth, burdened with the destiny of reincarnation, possessing a century's worth of soul essence. A folk custom practice in a remote mountain village unveils a century-old saga of yin and yang grudges, seeking old friends, settling past lives, guiding departed souls, and suppressing all worldly calamities. A century of longing and waiting, a lifetime of reunion across the river.
