[As told by readers]
"I thought from the blurb this was a brainless xianxia story, but it turned out to be a modern urban mystery full of wits and investigation, with two men vying for the top, and now I'm hooked."
"The chapter where Heaven issued the optimization notice was so frustrating, but then a frail, brilliant mortal immediately took him in."
"The episodic cases have a steady pace, so it's easy to keep up. The Seven Emotions Trial wraps up the story with a reversal of the verdict. So satisfying."
So this is a story about an overworked immortal, solving mysteries and investigating cases, and two men protecting their beloved. On the surface, it's about enduring trials, but at its heart, it's about building inner strength.
Theme: Vivid human hearts can defy a predestined fate, and sincere passion can break through the shackles of convention. Love can give us a place to stand, and resolve can set our fate. In the end, we can all find a free and peaceful way home by living on our own terms.
