Reborn In A Cursed Body, Hunted By The Strongest Cultivator

Описание: In the ancient town of Yangqiu County, a young man named Li Mu wakes up in a body that isn't his own — carrying the memories of a dead stranger, the burden of a six-month deadline to survive, and secrets that could shake the entire northern realm.

Born with a rare "Lip-Sound Body" constitution that marks him as both extraordinarily gifted and dangerously hunted, Li Mu must navigate a world of cultivators, ghost demons, corrupt officials, and hidden schemers — all while pretending to be someone he never was.

To survive, he must collect four powerful emotional energies — joy, anger, love, and longing — and break through four critical cultivation barriers before his time runs out. His path leads him through courtroom battles, supernatural investigations, haunted theaters, and deadly conspiracies orchestrated by a shape-shifting ancient cultivator who has been hiding in plain sight all along.

Surrounded by a sharp-tongued businesswoman who doesn't know she's falling for him, a powerful female ghost who guards a river and carries wounds of her own, a principled young magistrate whose gaze holds more warmth than she admits, and a loyal servant girl who sees spirits no one else can — Li Mu must decide what kind of man he wants to be in a life that was never supposed to be his.

Part detective thriller, part cultivation epic, part slow-burn romance — The Borrowed Soul is a story about identity, justice, survival, and the unexpected weight of living someone else's second chance.
