"People don't die from their dreams at first. When a dream becomes reality, death follows."
People have three souls. Si'an, a rare profession, have one fewer soul than ordinary people. They cannot sleep, but they can enter other people's dreams and subdue the dream wraiths that haunt them, preventing people from dying in their dreams.
Dream wraiths are the lingering attachments people leave behind in the world. They may take the form of objects, plants or animals, or even people, but they never appear without cause. Trapped in the world, they have lost their memories and are left with nothing but their obsessions.
Guan Xi is light on life and heavy on fate. A fortune-teller told him that he had left all his emotions and desires in his previous life, making him less susceptible to dream wraiths.
What the fortune-teller didn't say was that he never lived past fifty in any of his reincarnations.
