   Summary

   I have been killed. I need you to know that.
   
   I need you to know that it may look like I did this by choice. But it wasn’t. My mind has never been more my own, but my body will soon not be…

   Mo Xuanyu arrives at Jinlintai at the age of 13, prepared to work hard, but unprepared for the dangers and shadows that lurk around every corner of Jinlintai and the cultivation world even, maybe especially, in peace times.

   But as suspicions rise and stakes grow higher, Mo Xuanyu is forced to question the relationships he's built. Who can be trusted? Who means well? And where, exactly, are the voices of spirits in his head trying to lead him?
