   Reader note

   A Nascent Soul cultivator disguised as a neighborhood security guard finds enlightenment amidst the mundane world – this contrasting setting is incredibly satisfying! Li Qingfeng appears ordinary, but his daily routine of mediating neighborhood disputes and catching thieves is filled with moments of effortless skill, effortlessly breaking formations and defeating enemies with a flick of his finger – a classic example of playing dumb to outwit his opponent. The novel cleverly blends urban life with the undercurrents of cultivation, featuring vivid and lively supporting characters and a layered foreshadowing system. It offers both humorous and relatable daily interactions and a grander scope encompassing the resurgence of spiritual energy and crises in other worlds. The clash between the patriarch's transcendent mindset and ordinary life perfectly embodies the profound wisdom of "great seclusion in the city," making it an irresistible urban cultivation masterpiece.

    Eight couples, a tale of love and hate, sweet and romantic, you can ship them all, whatever you want. This book tells the story of a group of people—a group who emerged from the rainy nights of Temple Street. Zhong Aixiao squatted behind the counter of the "Xiang Ji" goldfish stall, raising Xin Xia for Xin Tongda. She waited for six years, wrote six letters, the last one containing only five words: "I'm not waiting anymore." Brother Fu sat on a plastic chair by the door, drinking beer for six years, waiting for her to turn around and see him. The day Xin Tongda signed the "protection agreement" determined everyone's fate. He went to the Philippines, accepting a drink from Jiang Meiling in a bar. He didn't know that drink would later become the son of a man named Jiang Che. From the age of three, Xin Xia carried a girl across all the puddles of Temple Street. He kept her photos in a folder called "Weather," facing them alone in a dark room late at night. He loved her, but he dared not let her know the weight of his love. Ren Ruyi had a system living in her mind. She did tasks, she wavered between two people, she thought she was just a player. Until the system crashed, she went to London, playing the piano for strangers in the snow, and met a boy named Xinyue, where she learned for the first time "protection" instead of "being loved." Jiang Che walked out of the tea restaurant kitchen and all the way to the boardroom of the Xin Group. He married Jiang Shuiqing—the woman who knew he had someone else in his heart but still chose him. She died in the delivery room, her last words being, "Where is my daughter?" When Tang Zhenyi was ten, she took a knife for a five-year-old boy. That scar remained on her left palm for twenty years. Later, she had plastic surgery, changed her face, entered the Xin family circle, and at the arrival gate of Charles de Gaulle Airport, was stopped by the now-grown boy by his full name. Song searched for her for twenty years. Everyone was caught in the karma of the previous generation. Everyone was trying to forge their own path. "When I'm sad, I try to be more understanding." But understanding is never a kind of magnanimity. It's a person's name. It's an exile that will never reach its shore. "I'm drawn to girls who love to laugh, but that girl isn't you." The person who said this ended up sitting in the front row of the wedding, a half-empty cup of iced tea in hand, watching the entire event unfold. There isn't a single purely evil character in this book. Nor does anyone live up to their initial aspirations. But they are all still on their journey. Under the neon lights of Temple Street, amidst the sea of ​​lights in Victoria Harbour, in every snowy night and every endless rain. "After all the twists and turns, I still found you."
