A Lamp to Tide over Troubled Times

Ling tide, an ancient immortal cultivator, realized that she had "a defective heart" when she failed to overcome the tribulation - she had lived for tens of millions of years, but she had never understood the human world. A remnant soul was reborn in Shanghai in the first year of the Republic of China, possessing Lin Wan, an orphan girl who died of illness. In this life, she put away her supernatural power and hid the secret of immortality. She just wanted to be a "mortal": open a small clinic in the gunfire of the warlords' melee, and save everyone in the shadow of the ten-mile foreign market. She thought that joining the world was a spiritual practice, but she didn't expect to be stumbled by a group of "mortals": Western doctors from abroad scolded her as "superstitious" but always waited for the herbs handed to her during operations, former warlord soldiers silently guarded with blood debts, and illusionists lied They built a wall for her, and the student leaders held up the torch of idealism to argue with her... They suspected her mystery, but they protected her at gunpoint; they denounced her "hypocrisy", but took turns to keep vigil when her spiritual power was exhausted. The flames of war spread from Shanghai to the southwest, from the flu epidemic to the iron hooves of the Japanese army. She watched her companions stumble forward in troubled times: some broke their arms to protect ancient books, some put down their hatred to save refugees, and some shed their blood between ideals and reality. And her sealed spiritual power was always quietly unsealed at the most embarrassing moment. She finally understood: the so-called Taoist heart is never a transparent view of the world, but knowing that all living beings are suffering, but still willing to dirty her fairy robe for that little glimmer of light. This is the story of the most powerful immortal cultivator who "made up for his lessons" in the troubled times of the Republic of China: to make up for the fireworks in the world, to make up for love, hate, anger and ignorance, and to make up for the sentence that has been delayed for thousands of years - all living beings are suffering, and I am here to save you.
