I can hear the exact moment people lie to me.
To the rest of the modern world, I am just an impossibly wealthy young man living a quiet, peaceful life. They look at my smooth face and assume I am barely out of my twenties. They have no idea that the soul resting inside this body has already walked this earth for fifteen thousand years.
My name is Xia Yi Chen. In my past life, I was a bastard child, beaten and bullied by the family who discarded me. I knew nothing but darkness-until I met Moka. She was a Japanese slave, and the only light in my miserable existence. When she died tragically at nineteen in her wedding dress, the boy I used to be died with her.
I retreated into the deep, untouched forests of ancient China, renaming myself Xia. For millennia, I mastered the absolute laws of metaphysics. I read minds, altered destiny, and punished those who defied heaven. I built an empire of land and wealth, raising thousands of abandoned children who showed me ultimate loyalty. But I was always entirely alone.
Now, I have orchestrated my own rebirth into the modern era, reclaiming all my ancient wealth. I am rich, I am all-powerful, and I remember everything. And walking right past a crowded city café is a girl who doesn't remember me at all-but still carries the exact same name.
Fate has brought Moka back to me. The heavens forbid our love, but this time, I will fight the gods to protect her. This time, our dynasty begins.
An East-meets-West supernatural fantasy romance featuring Taoist metaphysics, ancient reincarnation, and a relaxed, all-powerful master reclaiming his fate.
