(No harem, no wish fulfillment, no clichés, no invincibility, no System, and no mindless plot. Read with caution if these bother you!)
On the rainy night of the twenty-second day of the fourth month in the twenty-fifth year of the Kaiyuan era, a massacre that left everyone in the land feeling wronged sent two boys, once bound by a peaceful life and a brotherly bond, down two utterly different paths.
Li Yishu, an Illuminator in Chang'an, and Chen Xian, leader of the Wuyou Sect in the present day, are cousins who have had no news of each other for over a decade. Through a carefully arranged conspiracy, they happen to meet again. After all their enemies from those days are dead, they think everything is finally going to get better. Little do they know that the fate of the declining Tang Dynasty will sweep them all into the unknown.
