From the Xianbei War Camp to the Dragon Court of Chang'an

History + ancient times + wild imagination + mythology + fantasy + an extraordinary story. The legendary tale of Tang Gaozu founding the Tang Dynasty.

“Li Yuan!”

The Wood God stood above the clouds, his whole body wreathed in golden flames. He infused three drops of divine fire into the crown of Li Yuan’s head, his nose, and his eyes. His voice boomed like a bell:

“I, the Wood God, will take you as my disciple. If you fail to master my divine art, I’ll cast you out of the ranks of gods and immortals, and you’ll never be reborn! But you do have another choice…”

Combining fantasy and boundless imagination with historical records, this novel tells the romantic legend of Li Yuan, a bare-bottomed rascal who feared nothing, who was taken as the Wood God’s disciple and taught a divine art. He defeats every opponent under heaven and ultimately becomes the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
