Meng Po is an old woman who has lived for three thousand years by the banks of the Yellow Springs. Everyone says she is ruthless and merciless, but only the part about her age is true. The rest is nonsense.
Though she has lived for three thousand years, she has always appeared as a young girl. But since that is what everyone says, she sees no need to correct them. After living by the Yellow Springs for three thousand years and witnessing so many past lives and stories, she has long since grown indifferent.
Over the long years, she has met many people, listened to their stories, and learned the sides of them they kept hidden. Life should have remained peaceful, but then a sudden upheaval changed everything...
A joke of a wager overturned all the peace. The mysterious arrival of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, a blue-robed youth with hidden motives, strange souls appearing one after another, and golden lantern flowers of many different colors: all kinds of bizarre events pushed Meng Po and the others into an ever-deeper whirlpool. A carefully plotted story was playing out to perfection. Realizing that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, steering them toward the abyss, Meng Po smiled calmly. "A scheme? If the chessboard is turned upside down, will the game still exist?"
