dreaming of maggots

Yuan Ge is a talented film director and an artist in search of the ultimate beauty. He was scouted by a fledgling film company, Dragon Dreams Pictures, to make everyone's dreams come true. Qiuchen is a silver dragon from heaven, the illegitimate son of the Holy Emperor, a stage icon of the Qing Dynasty and an acting superstar of today. He was born to take centre stage, to live and die for his art. Faced with the raging jealousy of the Holy Consort of the Great Roxy Heaven, they were banished from the Garden of Eden and condemned to suffer endless cycles of reincarnations in the mortal world. One is treated as a plaything, a victim of his own perfection, while the other drifts to another lifetime… Will they find each other again, even if they are light years apart? Will they recognise each other, even if they have different forms and disguises? Will they save each other, even if their personalities harden by the cruelties of life? Yuan Ge and his three business partners are struggling to keep Dragon Dreams Pictures afloat, trying to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive Chinese market. Can this little-known company take on industry giant King Guan Entertainment and become the new industry leader? Who exactly is King Guan? Why did he invite Dragon Dreams to co-produce his new blockbuster? What does this tall, handsome, American-educated business elite really want from Yuan Ge? The River Ruo has distorted time and space, turning the world upside down; the camera lens has mixed reality and dreams, confusing the past and the future; holding each other's hands while remembering those dreamy years; counting the shooting stars while chasing eternity; but what is there to regret even if they have to endure a thousand reincarnations? This book explores how carnal desires and noble pursuits are fused together through love and art. It is an ambitious attempt by the author to portray a world full of diverse characters with real humanity, real struggles and torments. It attempts to link fantasy and reality, East and West, sense and sensibility, and to overcome our own varying degrees of pride and prejudice.

Below a starless sky, the world is slowly coming to an end. People vanish without warning, leaving behind no bodies, no traces, and no explanation. Humanity calls it the Disappearance Effect—a phenomenon that rises and falls in cycles, growing stronger with every peak. At the same time, a mysterious energy known as Zen awakens within humanity, granting extraordinary abilities. Most people receive a common awakening. A rare few awaken something more. Seventeen-year-old Riven Stirenok is one of them. Alone in a dying world, Riven survives each cycle of the Disappearance Effect through a strange second awakening he barely understands. Unlike everyone else, he can sense the phenomenon itself. Yet the ability that keeps him alive has never revealed its name, its purpose, or its limits. As cities fall silent and the number of survivors dwindles, Riven begins searching for answers. What happens to those who disappear? Why does the Disappearance Effect keep growing stronger? What exactly is Zen? And why was Riven's second ability never revealed? With Doomsday drawing closer and the world becoming stranger by the day, the greatest mystery may not be how to survive— —but whether there is any meaning left in surviving at all.
