The Dusty Road of Introspection

【Tagline: Outwardly observing the myriad phenomena of the world, inwardly meeting the various selves within】 In the eyes of others, Su Ming is just an antisocial, slightly chuunibyou anonymous chat streamer. She often whispers her thoughts and musings to herself when alone, with viewers taking it as part of her persona to set the mood, and passersby dismissing it as ethereal fantasy. No one knows that she was reborn with memories of her past life. In her previous life, a congenital ankle ailment gradually robbed her of the freedom to walk, and she lived out her days in solitude. Upon rebirth, she awakened a unique resonance ability, allowing her to glimpse the human-world instances condensed from the obsessions of all beings in the cracks of the city. Whenever she takes on heavy emotions, her consciousness plunges into a mental interlayer, where she encounters three other versions of herself. The cynical Yan Wang advises her to laugh it off; the fragile and sensitive Wen Shu weeps for the joys and sorrows of the world; the cold and rigid Ling Yao insists on controlling fate. They are the mirrored selves split from her heart, three divergent paths in her life. Outwardly, she traverses the pasts of countless ordinary people, witnessing lives of unfulfilled desires, yet powerless to change predetermined outcomes. Inwardly, the four selves constantly pull and contend, and each story of others questions how she should face her own destiny. — Description from novelcodex.org
