The Host's Dream: Reborn in Chaos

When sixty-year-old Wen Yuan's dying soul crashes into the body of a thirteen-year-old boy during the bloody twilight of the Sui Dynasty, he gets more than a second chance at life. Fleeing noble hunters two years later, he stumbles into a forgotten mountain cave—and collides with Gongsun Qingyi, the ancient soul of the drought goddess Nüba herself. Now bound together by fate, they must navigate the brutal wars tearing the empire apart while unraveling a millennium-old mystery: the woman who vanished on their wedding night, and the apocalyptic secrets buried with her in the ashes of history.
