This is a dream that has troubled Lin Xiaolu for half her life.
In the dream, a dying Taoist woman was covered in withered yellow leaves.
She didn't understand what it meant, but it kept recurring in her dreams.
Perhaps the ending had already been written when she first encountered this dream.
— She will die at the age of thirty-two.
She is thirty-two years old this year.
The weird campus mirage was the lead to her sudden death; her colleague Zhang Yang's joke that "there is rain in some areas" was the last footnote of her life.
"Will you be the one who saves me?"
She asked sincerely, but she couldn't get a sincere answer from him.
After death, a flash of spiritual light traveled through time and space for thousands of years.
She "awoke" in the troubled times of the Sixteen Kingdoms and became Ye Xuanzi, an abandoned Taoist disciple who was being surrounded and killed by 365 Taoist priests.
A Taoist sword that "turns dreams upside down" and a body with the evil skills of "Dream Spring and Autumn".
It turns out that the Taoist in her dream that has been haunting her for half her life is actually herself! It was a distress signal sent by myself across time and space to "her" in the future when she was on the verge of death thousands of years ago. It was also... A cruel "borrowed life" transaction.
"I create the 'Great Dream Spring and Autumn', see dreams within dreams, and appear outside my body. I use the life of the 'I' in thousands of future generations to extend the life of the 'I' in this world."
She has survived to this day by sacrificing the lives of countless "Lin Xiaolu".
But the number of people who "die" for her is about to run out, and she must find the person who "lives" for her - a "substitute" who is willing to take over her eternal fate and be imprisoned in the cycle of history for her.
Friend or enemy? Is it a favor or a debt?
"This time, I don't want you to die for me."
"I want you to survive this endless life for me forever."

[Reading Tips]
· Fateful confrontation: It is not a simple time travel, but a thousand-year survival and ultimate rebellion of self-awareness.
· High-concept suspense: Modern death is the result of ancient spellcasting, and every death is carefully planned.
· The cold heroine: A seeker who is so sensible that she is almost cruel, and is willing to sacrifice "thousands of selves" to break the deadlock.
· The mystery of the substitute: from "looking for a substitute death" to "looking for a substitute life", breaking away from fate and entering a higher dimension.
· Non-traditional love lines: Is love a variable in the chess game? Is it redemption or another exploit?
Purpose: Break the shackles of history and reverse destiny
