"True Fire in the Ashes" tells a story about Jiang Ziya that is different from traditional mythology. Thirty-two-year-old Jiang Ziya bid farewell to his mother and wife Yu Qinqing and went to Kunlun to seek enlightenment, but was involved in the disputes between the immortal sect and the conspiracy of Jiuyou. While he was fighting against the Nine Nether Demon Lord at the bottom of Qilin Cliff to protect the people of a city, his wife Yu Qinqing suffered a miscarriage and the loss of their son in Chaoge.
In the 40th year of Kunlun's reign, the Jade Clear Pool illuminated the past. Jiang Ziya faced his guilt, melted his regrets, and finally sublimated the joys and sorrows of the human world into great compassion for the common people, and achieved the fruit of Daluo Dao in extreme pain. At the age of seventy-two, he was floating down the mountain with a beard and hair as thick as snow, holding a list of gods and a whip on his back. Little did he know that a greater disaster was waiting...
This is a fairy tale about protection and redemption. Taking The Romance of the Gods as the bones and the brilliance of human nature as the soul, the image of Jiang Ziya is reshaped with flesh and blood. The game of power on the Kunlun Mountains and the true love and nature in the mundane fireworks are intertwined into a soul-stirring song of fire against the magnificent backdrop of the apotheosis of gods.
