Chen Ping'an, the last Taoist priest, came into the world with the birthmark of the Big Dipper. He was cursed at birth: on a night when seven stars hung upside down, the blood moon volleyed in the sky, centipedes gushed from thirty-seven wells, and his mother had a caesarean section to remove the blood jade fetus. Twenty years later, he was forced to unlock the forbidden book passed down from his ancestors, only to find that he was a living sacrifice of the Millennium Star Suppression Bureau.
His mother's remains in the bronze coffin, the Bureau's pursuit across time and space, the quantized matricide reincarnation... When the Big Dipper turns into an upside-down hanging rack, he must make a choice between blood relatives and heaven: Should he cut off cause and effect and restart the world, or fall forever into the bronze purgatory and become the blade of the Bureau to harvest civilization?
A god-killing scam that runs through ancient and modern times, reversing the cycle of life and death seven times, the answer is hidden in the original curse - the Beidou you carved with your own hands will eventually become the sword that stabs you.
