The World Inside the Coffin

In the 600th year of Tianlu, the heavens changed, the fates were divined, and the realm fell into chaos, splitting into four. Emperor Luo Xiao of Tianlu protected the realm, but lost his national preceptor, Li Wen. Defying heaven and changing fate, Li Wen traded his life for ten cycles of sixty years for the Tianlu Empire. Emperor Mingzhao Luo Xiao was devastated by the loss of his national preceptor. He built an underground city of celestial music for Li Wen, protecting his body from decay with a crystal coffin and an ice-soul pearl. Then he severed the city from the world and lay in eternal sleep beside Li Wen in the City of Celestial Music... Six hundred years later, fate could not be defied, and the realm split into four: Baize, Jiaotu, Qinyuan, and Binfeng. They established themselves in the east, south, west, and north, each ruling its own domain... Six hundred years later, Li Wen returns, breathtakingly beautiful and a god of slaughter among mortals. What upheaval will he unleash across the four kingdoms? How will he become entangled with their rulers? And how will he reunite with the one destined for him? A vast empire's tangled loves and hatreds, the rise and fall of a breathtakingly beautiful man, and the lives of two men spanning lifetime after lifetime... “You can't bear to part with this realm?” “I can't.” Since you can't bear to part with it, I, Li Wen, will defy heaven and change fate, restoring six generations of prosperity for you!
