The Tang Dynasty: Tales of the Wu Zhou Era

A Record of Ascension to Immortality, composing a grand design for the realm.

Once an Agent of the Unwise, an Agent of the Unwise for life. Though cursed with a rotten reputation, he guards the Li Tang dynasty.

To uncover the truth behind the Crown Prince's sudden death, Li Yuan falls from his position as Prince of Anxi in the Tang Empire into captivity in Tubo. Taking the name Murong Hanhai, he builds a network of desert Hu Tong souls and repels Tubo's invasion of the Western Regions;

To save the fate of the Li Tang imperial clan, Murong Hanhai returns from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, opens trading houses in Chang'an and Luoyang, secretly reactivates the Agents of the Unwise, persuades the Scholars of the North Gate to defect, and outwits the cruel officials;

As the mists clear, Wu Zhao restores the Tang, the realm recovers, and Xuanzong contests for power. Murong Haihan changes his name to Li Ke, conceals his identity, and keeps his distance from the imperial clan, wandering the deserts of the Western Regions from then on.
