A modern soul, worn down by the 996 grind for half her life, drifts into a dream on the night she sits down to write a novel. Her subconscious, filled with the hundreds of online novels she's read, the martial arts dreams she's cherished for half her life, and her suppressed longing for freedom, conjures up a world in her sleep that she's never seen but that feels impossibly real. In this "lawless haven" without KPIs or mortgage payments, she uses her wit, humor, and golden finger to tell truth from lies. She turns a band of mountain bandits into a family, transforms a poor mountain stronghold into a home, and becomes someone who has truly lived instead of merely surviving.
