Donghuang Taiqing writes a reader's review for every chapter of my novel to help everyone read The Dragon Girl's Record of Crossing Calamities. This is an epic about the soul, a journey of "awakening" spanning ten thousand years. When Mingguang, the Phoenix Clan's god of war, falls, her true spirit, Qingxuan, takes the Soul-Gathering Pearl and embarks on the path of reincarnation. In the mortal world, an ultimate inquiry into divinity and humanity slowly unfolds. Seen through the eyes of a dragon girl, this is an "apocalypse of the human world" that penetrates desire, cognition, the Way of Heaven, and the human way.
From Du Mozhou, who chooses neither marriage nor children and lives with an innocent heart, to the creation myth of the "Land Favored by the Gods," the story steadily approaches the source of the Way of Heaven. How did humanity fall from a self-sufficient divine race to parasites trapped in duality? How did the population swell from two hundred million to eight billion three hundred million? Why did the family become the most intimate battlefield? All of this points to a forgotten covenant and the burdens we must bear.
It reflects the struggles and confusion we all face between family, love, ideals, and reality. It seeks to open a door, letting us see cause and effect beyond good and evil, burdens beyond right and wrong, and a world beyond attachment to the self. Open this book and follow in Qingxuan's footsteps as you experience...
The pain of love, then the realization that love is attachment; the anguish of ambition, then the understanding that all things follow nature; the suffering of reincarnation, then the realization that the mind itself is a cage. At last, when every calamity has been crossed, perhaps, like Qingxuan, you will rediscover that long-lost "innocent joy" amid the teeming mortal world, and understand what it truly means to be self-sufficient and seek nothing outside yourself. This book is dedicated to every soul striving in the mortal world, unwilling to sink into oblivion.
