    [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] [Guaranteed publishing quality, slow pace + grand setting, everyone says it gets better the more you read + urban + college students + supernatural + Taoist + slightly thrilling + face-slapping + showing off] 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 I would help others and myself, and live a peaceful life. I spent half my life mediocre and impoverished, bowing my head humbly for love, working to make ends meet, giving my sincere heart to the wrong people. In the dead of night when the power went out, in a cramped bathroom in an urban village, I encountered Duan Yuansi, a lonely white-clad soul who had been waiting for me for a hundred years. With tears of blood in her eyes, she softly called out to her husband, placing 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.
