The Embers of the Heart Without Embers Are All Past Events

Introduction to "Emberless Heart" A piece of poinciana wood burned by thunder and fire, charred on the outside and hollow on the inside, with an eternal flame hidden in the core hole. It's called "Wuhenxin" - it's the original fire cultivated by Gu Changning, a rebel disciple of the Xuanhu Sect. The genius alchemist Gu Changning stole the sect's treasure "Qing Nang Shu", betrayed the sect, and his whereabouts are unknown. Twelve years later, her senior brother Shen Du received an unsigned letter with only eight words: "If you want to see the truth, you can go to the Northern Territory." Shen Du took the piece of charred wood north and walked through three doors in the high tower of Jindu. The truth at the top of the tower is far crueler than imagined. Gu Changning never defected. At the expense of herself, she turned into an embers-free heart and filled the karma gap left by the Xuanhu Sect's thousand-year alchemy path. The sect used phoenix fire to refine elixirs and extracted the underground fire veins for thousands of years. Shen Du used all his cultivation to ignite the Phoenix Fire and completely purify the resentful spirits. Since then, the golden elixir has been broken into pieces, his cultivation has been completely ruined, and his hair has turned gray overnight. A Phoenix grass seedling sprouted from his embers. The story unfolds the redemption and protection of three generations: Shen Du and Gu Changning turned into ember-free hearts in the depths of the crack to guard a door; their child Shen Nianning was born from the scorched wood. When he was sixteen years old, he turned the transparent golden elixir into lamp oil on the top of the tower and put his heart into an ever-extinguishing guiding light. The novel uses the "emberless heart" as the core image, hiding the questioning of heaven, earth, humans and gods, love, heaven, and good and evil in layers of nested plot reversals.
