Chen Ying was poisoned and on the verge of death. He found himself a place to be buried, and someone to collect his body.
Who could have known this wasn't the end, but the beginning of another journey?
Mountain spirits and ghosts, immortals and demonic beasts: this world seemed to be an entirely different place.
It was the first time he had ever seen such a strange and wondrous world.
But Wei Jiu had already been struggling to survive in this world for ten years.
On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, releasing lanterns on the river was the last thing they held on to as humans.
"What did you wish for?"
"I hope I can find an antidote for you soon, Big Brother Chen. What did you wish for?"
"Don't you want to go back?"
"I do, but your health matters more, Big Brother Chen. I've gotten used to it after all these years."
Chen Ying nodded without a word. My wish is to take you back to the world of humans.

Coming soon: The Not-So-Heartless Dao
He Hua, the first disciple of the Sword Peak of Xianwu Sect and a swordsmanship prodigy, has a secret: she isn't cultivating the Sword Dao. She's cultivating the Heartless Dao.
To cover up her secret, He Hua, a confirmed bachelor for 300 years, sets her sights on Xie Juming, the universally adored Bai Yueguang of the Celestial Realm, the exalted Lord Shixuan.
Xie Zhonghua is the foremost practitioner of the Heartless Dao in the cultivation world. With no parents, relatives, friends, wife, or children, he treats severing all love and affection as his life's creed.
And so, the front-page headline of the Cultivation Daily reads:
"Swordsmanship Prodigy He Hua Publicly Confesses Her Love to Lord Shixuan. Sources Say the Two Are Grandfather and Granddaughter."
The entire cultivation world is shaken. Watching He Hua chase after Xie Juming becomes the cultivation world's greatest entertainment.
After spending a hundred years building up the story, He Hua thinks it's about time to move on to the part where her pursuit fails, leaving her heartbroken and determined to shut herself off from love forever.
Only then do the immortals come to their senses. The grandfather-granddaughter ship we've been shipping for a hundred years has sunk?
But Xie Juming, who has been aloof for a thousand years, proves through his actions that no, it hasn't.
Because he has a secret too: he isn't cultivating the Heartless Dao.
