A twisting fantasy adventure danmei about finding redemption across multiple lifetimes. The last thing powerful cultivator Gong Wei remembers before his death is bleeding out beneath his archenemy Xu Shuangce’s infamous blade—the sword known as No Way Out. The weapon should have annihilated his soul forever, so when Gong Wei awakens sixteen years later in the body of a beautiful but witless young male disciple, no one is more surprised than he is. Determined to hide his true identity lest Xu Shuangce return to finish the job, the mischievous Gong Wei attaches himself to two young cultivators traveling to investigate a string of horrific deaths in the nearby city of Linjiang. Yet what he finds there is even more shocking: The mysterious murderer appears to be impersonating none other than Gong Wei himself. And the closer Gong Wei comes to uncovering the killer’s identity, the more questions arise about the events surrounding his death—and what truly happened between him and Xu Shuangce sixteen years ago. Novel, SC, 396pgs, B&W

NO REST FOR THE DEAD After finally slipping free of Xu Shuangce, Gong Wei thought he’d bought himself a moment’s peace—only to find himself in new trouble at the Pacifying Mausoleum. Something even stranger than awakening as the cherished disciple of his enemy awaits him there: his own corpse, risen from the dead. Someone is controlling his body, but what havoc they mean to wreak with it, no one can guess. As Gong Wei and Xu Shuangce chase the mastermind behind this mystery, the threads lead them to a terrifying vision of the apocalypse. But has this catastrophe already happened, or is it a disaster yet to come? The question throws everything Gong Wei and Xu Shuangce know about the world—and their own shared past—into doubt. For example... Gong Wei has always been certain Xu Shuangce despised him. What if he was wrong from the start? Novel, SC, 404pgs, B&W
