The mysteriously appeared imperial mausoleum, the legendary elixir of immortality, the hidden world within Mount Kongtong, the underground palace of immortals and demons buried deep beneath the earth, and the Penglai Isles, a pure land in the mortal world.
After the Tang unified the Nine Provinces, heaven and earth stirred. The dragon veins revived, and immortals, demons, ghosts, monsters, and ancient legacies all reappeared in the world of men.
During the Kaiyuan era, Fang Yuan, an heir to the Wu Sect, followed his master's orders and entered the imperial court to seek an official post. There, he became entangled in a love-hate relationship with a woman for more than ten years.
The schemes and rivalries among the powerful, the feuds between the Dragon Gate and the Demon Sect, the struggle between the emperor and the forces of the immortal path, and the contest between the Tang and its neighboring states.
Caught up in it all, Fang Yuan overcomes one obstacle after another, becoming ever more deeply embroiled in a shocking conspiracy!
What is the truth behind Prince Shou's fall from favor? What secret does Yang Guifei conceal? Why is Yang Guozhong at odds with Fang Yuan? Why does An Lushan grovel before him?
Come! Demons, monsters, ghosts, and ghouls, killing and setting fires! Beautiful women, tender affections! Gods, ghosts, mortals, and immortals, whose true feelings are hard to fathom!
Come and see, everyone! A world of schemes and rivalries, where nothing is quite what it seems.
It's been a while since I've read a book that made me feel emotional.
The writing is great, and the way it creates suspense and leaves blank spaces for progression is something new and refreshing to me.
I've read part of this book, it's suspenseful, keep reading, and you'll solve the mystery.
