I had always been the golden boy. At 24, my life in Chengdu was charmed. I was handsome, talented, and excelled at everything I attempted, whether it was martial arts, academics, or playing the guzheng. But one afternoon, while rummaging through the cluttered storeroom of my family home, I stumbled upon an old, dust-covered book. Its leather-bound cover was worn, and its pages yellowed with age. I remembered my grandmother mentioning this heirloom, passed down through generations. Curious, I sat down amidst the chaos and began to read.
The book recounted the life of a distant man and his story from centuries ago. I found the tales fascinating but not entirely gripping. I placed the book back on a shelf, thinking I might delve deeper into it another time.
Life moved on, vibrant and full. But then came the day of the combat tournament. As I drove through the city streets, my mind focused on the competition ahead, fate intervened. In a horrific instant, a car crash left me paralyzed from the waist down. My dreams, my physical prowess, my vibrant life—all shattered in a moment of cruel irony.
Confined to my home and devoid of the independence I once cherished, I faced a bleak and solitary future. Friends visited less frequently, and I had no family nearby to provide constant care. Desperate for distraction, my gaze fell upon the old book I had found in the storeroom.
With little else to occupy my time, I picked up the book and began to read it once more. This time, I immersed myself completely in its pages. The tales of the man took on new meaning, offering me an escape from my physical confinement. I found solace in his wisdom and resilience, drawing strength from each word.
As the months turned into years, the book became my most faithful companion. I read it over and over, discovering new layers of meaning with each reading. The stories became a bridge offering comfort and a sense of connection to the man with a tragic end.
In the quiet moments of my solitary existence, the ancient book was always there. Its presence became a testament to the enduring power of stories and the solace they can provide in the darkest times. When my final day arrived, I was found with the book open on my lap, my eyes closed in peace. The stories had been my refuge, guiding me through my years of suffering until the very end.thought the ending was never completed and many pages were missing it did not stop me from reading it.

I always believed my story ended with the book open on my lap. Yet, when I closed my eyes for what I thought was the final time, I suddenly woke up to an entirely different reality.
My eyes fluttered open, and I found myself lying on a wooden bed in a room that looked ancient, like something out of the history books. The intricate lattice windows let in a soft, golden light, and the air smelled of fresh herbs and incense.
A young boy was sitting beside me, his eyes wide with relief and excitement. "Shizun, you are awake! Should I inform the Sect Master?" he asked, his voice trembling with a mixture of concern and joy.
I blinked, trying to make sense of the situation. "Shizun?" I repeated, my voice hoarse. The term meant "master" or "teacher," a title of respect in ancient China. My mind raced. How was this possible? Just moments ago, I was a broken man, paralyzed and alone, clinging to the stories of an distant tragic man. And now, I was here, in what seemed like the very world those stories described.
The boy looked at me with expectant eyes, awaiting my response. I nodded slowly. "Yes, inform the Sect Master," I said, my voice gaining strength. As he hurried out of the room, I looked around, trying to piece together the fragments of this new reality.
I glanced down at myself, noticing that my body felt different—stronger, healthier. I no longer felt the crushing weight of paralysis. Instead, I felt a vitality I hadn't known in years. Could it be that I had somehow become the very man whose stories had given me solace in my darkest hours?
The boy returned, accompanied by an older man who exuded authority and wisdom. He bowed deeply upon seeing me awake. "Shizun, it is a relief to see you recovered. We were worried you might not wake up."
I took a deep breath, realizing that I had been given a second chance—an opportunity to live a new life, one filled with adventure, honor, and perhaps the wisdom I had admired so much in the pages of that old book.
"Thank you," I said, looking at both of them. "I am ready to fulfill my duties." As the Sect Master and the young boy smiled with relief, I felt a profound sense of purpose and destiny. This was my new beginning, and I would embrace it fully, living the life of the man I had once only read about.
This unexpected twist in Li Wei's journey brings him to a place where he can start anew, embodying the very legacy that had once only been words on a page.
