Summary
Lin Jie, an otherworldly traveler, operates a modest bookstore where he offers sincere reading recommendations to those in need, sometimes sharing his own works. His patrons, profoundly moved by his guidance, return with tokens of gratitude and seek his counsel. As his influence quietly grows, he becomes the subject of hushed rumors, acquiring mysterious epithets such as “The Evil God’s Shadow,” “Preacher of the Flesh Gospel,” “Creator of Forbidden Texts,” and “Guide of the Cosmos.”
