Black Mirror Lace

Ren Amakawa is an ordinary, painfully shy eighteen-year-old who has never known warmth beyond his books and lonely nights. But his life changes the night he discovers an ancient mirror hidden in his attic — a mirror that doesn’t reflect his dusty room, but a lush, dreamlike world teeming with impossible beauty and forbidden temptations. Drawn through the glass, Ren finds himself in the Mirror World, a realm ruled by seductive beings who crave what he has always guarded — his innocence. There, sensual elf queens, cunning succubi, and mystical priestesses lure him deeper with whispers of pleasure and secrets too intoxicating to resist. Every time he crosses over, Ren’s desires awaken further, feeding the Mirror World’s magic — and binding him tighter to its dangerous temptresses. But behind each teasing kiss and heated touch lies a hidden truth: Ren is not just a visitor. He is the key to an ancient power, a pure vessel in a realm that devours purity for strength. With every surrender, he inches closer to losing himself — or embracing the dark ecstasy that the mirror’s magic promises. In a world where innocence is the greatest treasure, and temptation is a test of will, Ren must choose: shatter the mirror’s hold and return to his empty reality — or step willingly into a fantasy where pleasure is power… and his heart may never escape.

When museum intern Clara Sommers is assigned to catalog an old relic called the Bathory Mirror, she expects the usual: dust, folklore, maybe a forgotten legend. What she doesn’t expect is a mirror that refuses to show her reflection—one that seems to remember her. Thirteen years after stumbling across it as a child, Clara is pulled back into its orbit. But this time, the glass doesn’t just look back. It opens. Beyond it lies a world caught between memory and myth, where fragments of Clara—versions of who she might have been—wander through the strange, shifting realm known as the Mirror Aeon. And guiding her through it all? Gustav—a man she’s drawn since childhood, yet never truly met. As Clara unravels the mystery of her own fractured identity and the mirror’s eerie connection to the infamous Blood Countess, Elizabeth Bathory, she begins to question everything. Because the mirror doesn’t just reflect. It remembers. And it’s been waiting for her.

I won't be profiting from this. Just want to share this great book with my fellow readers. Hope you enjoy this. The Mirror Legacy is a novel covering Drama, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Seinen, Tragedy, Mature, Xianxia, Psychological, Mystery genres. Written by the author Ji Yueren. ------------------------------------- A message from the Translator: Heya, it’s Crow, the translator for The Mirror Legacy. I’m glad to have the opportunity to translate one of the top ten books on Qidian. This is perhaps a different type of Xianxia novel that is quite unique in its own right. Instead of following a single main character through the story, there are no main characters in this novel, or maybe everyone is a main character. After all, the main focus of the novel is the characters rather than cultivation. If I have to describe what this novel is like… then I’d say it’s a Sims 4 Legacy Challenge, but set in an eastern fantasy world. If you can find satisfaction in watching generations of a family building themselves up and enjoy books with good characters, then this is the novel for you. The story progresses slowly in the beginning, making this a great read before your bedtime or on a lazy afternoon in the cafe with a cup of tea in your hand. (You may also need a tissue box for your tears, that’s all I’m going to say.) The story starts with a guy named Lu Jiangxian who died after staying up till late to work. He transmigrated, not as a human but a mirror (a broken one at that)! Upon discovering that he could absorb the essence from moonlight and gain power from it, he decided to find ways to restore his mirror body and find out its origin. He was later picked up by Li Xiangping, a teenager from a humble farming family that soon discovered that the mysterious artifact they found could turn mortals into immortals. With such a powerful artifact in their house, they feared that tragedy could befall their family. There was only one thing for them to do—become powerful to protect their secret and family!

When monsters sprouted from suddenly appearing towers all over the world, the world leaders created an organization of skilled warriors to tackle this problem. The warriors compromised of awakened humans; people who had gotten skills similar to those in a video game. Unfortunately, not everyone was willing to join this attack force, so the world leaders implemented a lottery-system to fill out the ranks. A few years later, Evelyn’s twin sister was chosen via lottery to become a discoverer, but their biased parents forced Evelyn to go in her sister's stead, putting her in the line of danger. The only salvation was that her finance was also sent on the same mission. The mission was to conquer a new Boss floor, and they were to fight against a monster of unpresented might. What she hadn’t expected was that her fiancé would betray her, because of a plot he concocted together with her sister. The monster annihilated their whole team before they were finally able to defeat it, but her fiancé had no thoughts of letting her leave the tower. Stabbing her in the back, he leered over her as he explained their plan while she slowly bled to death. With the last of her life force, dead set on getting her revenge on the man she had promised her life with, she heals the boss monster in hopes that it will kill him. As she slowly closes her eyes, the world going dark around her, a notification from the system pops up. “ New class: Black healer Congratulations! You have completed the hidden legendary quest, healing an S-ranked monster on its last breath by sacrificing yourself. Your immensely caring heart should be an inspiration to all healers, both human and monsters! Not caring for the wounded’s different race and even sacrificing the last of your own life, you have been given a new chance at life. ” Waking up, she is now back three years before the battle took place. Her new life starts now!

When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a world unlike anything he’s ever known — a realm of magic, mythical races, and ancient forces that whisper of forgotten truths. Stripped of his past and trapped in a body that isn’t his, he must walk a path chosen for him. A path that leads either to salvation… or a fate far worse than hell. As dark forces stir and the weight of unseen consequences begins to mount, Vantias must uncover the secrets of this strange world — and perhaps, discover what it truly means to live again. In a world where good and evil are blurred, survival demands more than strength. It demands sacrifice, resolve, and the courage to face who you once were — and who you must become.
