A Lonely City on the Path: The Young General and the Mystery of the Northern Rong

When a reclusive Daoist steps into the mortal world, he encounters a lonely city steeped in an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere. The people here honor the dead with music and dance, stirring his endless curiosity. There, he meets a spirited young general. Their encounter gives rise to a shared vow: they will travel together to the Northern Rong capital to aid the crown prince and uncover a dragon-and-phoenix case that has lain dormant for thirty years. But when they arrive amid the capital’s splendor, they realize that beyond Northern Rong, a fierce beast is already eyeing this prosperous land.
