A generation's mighty and most powerful expert died mysteriously and reincarnated without any memories on a small planet far away from the Cultivation World. This small planet was earth. Five thousand years ago, a great calamity descended on earth. Countless Spatial Cracks appeared in the sky and beasts invaded. After hundreds of years of fighting, humans discovered they could awaken a battle spirit that can help them raise their strength and grant them the abilities that were simply unimaginable for humans before. Qin Feng also awakens his battle spirit but unfortunately, it was swallowed by his own birthmark, The Infinity Symbol. This was just the beginning of the mysteries that surrounded him like invisible specks of dust. He soon discovered that the 'Infinity Symbol' was actually not his birthmark but something mysterious from another world. The Infinity Symbol helped him awaken a Divine Battle Spirit and granted him a Nameless Cultivation Technique that was beyond the world's limit. He also discovered that he could not die! Every time, he was killed, he returned back in time with the memories of what is going to happen in the future. Soon after awakening the Divine Battle Spirit, a mysterious beautiful lady stepped into his life and told him that he does not belong to the earth. He was actually the reincarnation of someone called 'KING'.

Mystery is a key part. There are usually secrets about characters' pasts or strange events that need to be uncovered. In 'Rebecca', the mystery of Rebecca's death and her hold over the house is central. Also, they tend to have elements of the supernatural. Ghosts, vampires or other strange creatures might be involved, just like in 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' where the transformation has a touch of the supernatural.

Well, 'The Castle of Otranto' is a very early and important vintage gothic romance novel. It sets the tone for many of the later works with its elements of the supernatural and the gloomy castle setting. Then there's 'Dracula' which, while often thought of as a horror novel, also has strong gothic romance elements, especially in the relationship between the characters and the allure of the vampire. 'Frankenstein' can also be considered in this genre to some extent, as it has a complex relationship between the creator and the created, set against a backdrop of mystery and the unknown.

Vintage mystery novels often have complex plots. For example, in Agatha Christie's works, there are multiple suspects and a web of clues that the detective has to untangle. They usually feature a detective or an investigator figure, like Sherlock Holmes. The settings are often in a bygone era, which adds to the charm. For instance, the Victorian London in Conan Doyle's stories or the 1930s - 40s America in Chandler's novels.
