Overnight, I Became the Sect's Most Popular Person!

Everyone knows that cultivators risk “returning to stillness” when they break through. Their Dao merges with the heavens, and they meet an honored end on the path to enlightenment. Only Gu Zhi, who transmigrated here, knows the truth: it is a wave of forgetting that engulfs the entire world.

When the gray snow falls, every trace of his master, Yun Yazi, is erased. His name vanishes from the sect’s records, his fellow disciples’ memories are blank, and even the courtyard where he lived becomes a century-old ruin. The whole world forgets, and only Gu Zhi remembers.

A cold jade pendant covered in cracks, given to him by his master the day before, and a fragmentary ancient book recounting a similar tragedy from thousands of years ago are the only clues Gu Zhi has. While pretending to be a disciple with a damaged mind, he must search for the truth alone, in places no one knows about.

When Wangxian Sect arrives and a new secret realm opens, Gu Zhi thinks he has found a chance to escape his cage. Little does he know that he is stepping ever deeper into a labyrinth. The gaps in history, the torn records, the countless echoes of despairing minds sealed in jade slips... all point to a terrifying truth. And Gu Zhi, a “flaw in memory” who should not exist, becomes the only variable in this deadlocked game.

The whole world forgets, but I alone remember. I will become the flame that reveals the truth.
