During the Wu and Zhou Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, a "Phoenix Tribulation" that spanned a thousand years quietly came. According to legend, the ancient "Celestial Phoenix" reincarnates every three hundred years and needs to be sacrificed with three "Fire Phoenix Containers", otherwise the world will be burned by heavenly fire. But this time, Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping and Saint Yue Yin of the Western Regions all became the fateful choices at the same time...
Detective Di Renjie was accidentally involved in the Xuanhuo Religion's restoration conspiracy while investigating the bizarre corpse-burning case of the Minister of Rites. As the case deepened, he discovered that he was not involved accidentally, but was the reincarnation of the "Huo Zhengguan" of Taizong Dynasty, shouldering the mission of cutting off the cause and effect of thousands of years. From the secret case in Luoyang to the Temple of the Western Regions, from the imperial mausoleum and the underground palace to the city burned by sky fire, Di Renjie must find the key to solving the disaster among conspiracy, treacherous fire and fate.
