Standing Atop the Ages

The male lead, Lan Yi, is born beneath a chessboard that falls from the heavens. At five, he awakens the Immortal and Demon Emperors, who protect and teach him. At twelve, his soul grows powerful; at sixteen, he forms his core; at eighteen, he reaches the Nascent Soul stage. While attending school, he subdues Li Xiaoman, a female ghost with an Extremely Yin constitution, and makes the acquaintance of Bureau 749.
