The imperial tombs that appeared out of nowhere, the legendary elixir of immortality, the hidden realm within Mount Kongtong, the underground palace of immortals and demons, and the earthly paradise of Penglai Island.
After the Great 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 mortal world.
During the Kaiyuan era, Fang Yuan, an heir to the Witch Sect, entered the imperial court at his master's behest to seek an official post. As a result, he became entangled in a love-hate relationship with a woman for more than a decade.
The deceit and intrigue among the powerful, the feud between the Dragon Gate and the Demon Sect, the struggle between the emperor and the forces of the Immortal Way, and the Great Tang's games with its neighboring nations.
Caught up in it all, Fang Yuan overcame one challenge after another, becoming embroiled step by step in a shocking conspiracy!
What was the truth behind Prince Shou's loss of favor? What secret did Yang Guifei harbor? Why was Yang Guozhong at odds with Fang Yuan? Why did An Lushan grovel before him?
Come one, come all! Demons and monsters wreaking havoc and killing! Beautiful women with hearts full of affection! Gods, ghosts, mortals, and immortals whose true intentions are hard to fathom!
Come and see for yourselves, as deceit and intrigue blur the line between truth and lies.
