Old Tales of Sanhe

He Can Yi, a legendary slacker from Sanhe, unexpectedly transmigrates to another world, only to discover that his circumstances are still just as miserable. His finances have not improved in the slightest, and he has piled up an enormous gambling debt. A princess raised in the Cold Palace is forced into a political marriage. Along the way, she becomes a widow before the wedding even takes place, and is reduced to scraping by on the borderlands with a band of battered soldiers.

Taoist priests, monks, Confucian scholars, priests, socialites, clandestine courtesans, tycoons, street vendors, gamblers, human traffickers, generals, and bandits: what kind of story will unfold when all these strange and colorful people gather in one place?

When the otherworldly Sanhe slacker meets the princess, how will they defy fate and change their lives? Is the city they fight so desperately to protect a paradise beyond the world, or merely the last vestige of an obsession?
