The bloodstained Eastern Emperor Bell tolls, opening the road to the netherworld.
A remnant soul from the future falls into the depths of Wu Zhou’s palace, bound to Li Guo’er’s dying body a thousand years in the past.

This body is both a prison and a weapon.
Watch as one who borrows another’s life uses a fading lamp to light the night, strange treasures as pieces in a game, and rises from the ashes of a dynasty’s decline to face death and live anew.
