In the world of cultivation, having a powerful advantage—often called a “golden finger”—is essential. Ruan Ci, the protagonist, possesses a universe-level golden finger. However, this power is not eternal; it has a limited duration. Even more complicated is that everyone knows about her golden finger and its ticking time limit.

When Ruan Ci is at her most desperate, Xie Yan lends her a sword—the legendary cosmic treasure “Donghua Sword.” But borrowed items must eventually be returned.

Ruan Ci was once a noble girl whose entire family was wiped out by a coalition of cultivation sects. She was saved by the notorious Xie Yan, who entrusted her with the sword and made her the new Sword Bearer. Using this sword, she enters the Shangqing Sect, cultivates for ten years to lay a solid foundation, and eventually achieves an extraordinary level of power comparable to an ancient Dao ancestor.

But the borrowed sword must be returned, and on her path of cultivation, Ruan Ci faces relentless threats from various factions. She struggles against the manipulations of Dao Ancestors and strives to break free from a destined death. Through courage and determination, she climbs the peak of cultivation and embarks on a legendary journey.

"It is my duty to recast the glory of ghost stories."

But you're not a weirdo, well, you're not human either.

"Well, it's considered a success if you become a monster."

Jiang Zhu traveled to the vast world of immortals and became a green lantern.

When the green lantern absorbed enough sunlight and moonlight, he could open his eyes and see the world.

The emperor sought immortality, the immortal master pursued the Tao, the mountain spirits and wild monsters feasted on incense, it was wonderful and dreamy.

He tried his best to participate in this dreamlike world, but he could do nothing.

Alluring beauties, chivalrous knights, immortal masters, emperors of ancient and modern times, all could not resist the long passage of time.

The flickering candlelight seemed to be explaining the glory of the past, and it seemed to be telling the desolation of seeking immortality.

The candlelight is dim and unchanging.

Cut a ray of candlelight, telling a story of the past, but can't find the appearance of the old friend...

Zhou Mo sat on a park bench with a cup of milk tea, his mind empty as he pondered over something crucial for a man who had just traveled through time. When would he die? And... who stole his brain? The murderer was very unethical. It was understandable that he dug out his brain, but taking away his eyes as well was too much. So Zhou Mo planned to retrieve his brain before he died completely.
