There is no 作品相关 shelf. Two volumes share the name 新火. The first opens on 第1章 复燃. The next row is 第2章 结亲. The second 新火 opens on 第69章 大江东去（求首订！）. 莲花 and 北狩 restart at 第1章. 东游, 烛萤, 月隐, and 山巅 restart at 第一章. 终烬 restarts at 第1章 太平不易. The newest slot is 后记.杂谈. Two volumes are both named 新火. The second one does not start the fire over. It starts at chapter 69 and asks for the first subscription. 莲花, 北狩, 东游, 烛萤, 月隐, 山巅, and 终烬 each reset the count. The afterword is the newest slot, which is a polite way to miss the door. 365.46万 characters is the shelf label. The mobile page said 完本, updated 2026-09-10, category 仙侠. The catalog listed 1174 rows.
Start at 第1章 复燃
Open 第1章 复燃 on Qidian and follow that catalog from the first story row, not from the newest button. The Chinese original, 剑道余烬, is the book page. On 16 October 2026 the mobile page called it 完本, author 会摔跤的熊猫, category 仙侠, updated 2026-09-10, with 365.46万 characters. The catalog listed 1174 rows. The public pitch was not copied here.
The newest button is not the door
The newest timestamp points at 后记.杂谈. 365.46万 characters is a shelf label, not a dare. You are deciding whether 第1章 复燃, filed under 仙侠, is your door. 完本 is a status.
