Traveling Between Two Worlds, I Finally Choose to Live an Ordinary Life

The stark contrast between two worlds leaves Chen Mu torn between a haughty emperor and a humble mortal. He once reveled in the power of the Mirror Realm, living in a drunken haze, but grew ever more weary of its illusory violence and splendor. Then his wife and children in the real world gave him a warmth he could never give up, while the flames of war in the Mirror Realm spread once more, forcing him to stand at a crossroads of fate.

After a brutal battle leaves him with only one chance to travel between worlds, he faces the ultimate choice:

Return to the throne of an emperor who can command the wind and rain and live forever?

Or give up all his supernatural powers for good and return to an ordinary home filled with everyday chores, where his wife and children are waiting?

He gives up the godlike power and immortality within easy reach. Dragging his half-crippled body, he chooses to return and face a mortgage, workplace pressures, and the everyday concerns of family life.

But the world will not stay still just because he wants peace. The crisis in the Mirror Realm is not over, and its terrifying aftershocks begin to invade reality. Stripped of his powers, Chen Mu discovers that being an ordinary person sometimes takes more courage and strength than being an emperor. He must rely on the perspective and wisdom he once used to look down upon an entire world, along with all his resolve as a husband and father, to protect the most precious ordinary life he chose for himself.
