To transmigrate isn't a dinner party. Every step is a trap. Li Dan woke up penniless, with no memories, surrounded only by icy river water and a bandit's short blade. In this chaotic Southern Dynasty, divided between North and South and dominated by powerful clans, his only advantages were a thousand years' worth of knowledge beyond that of the ancients and the ruthless resolve to stake his life for a chance to survive.
Seeking a way to stay alive, he followed the faint lingering scent of a wheel rut and brazenly rammed the carriage of a young lady from the Wu Xing Shen clan. He staked his life, cut open his own arm to prove his resolve, and used a modern perspective to decipher the long-lost secret fragrance known as "Vermilion Garment Musk." From that moment on, he was swept into the deepest whirlpools of the elite clans.
The Southern Dynasty was weak, and its heroes were short of spirit. The emperor lay gravely ill on the dragon throne, while the Northern Dynasty's iron cavalry watched like tigers poised to pounce. A single pill of fragrance stirred political struggles and covert conflict between North and South. With no memories, identity, or System, Li Dan had no choice but to walk along the blade's edge amid the rivalries of noble clans and the shifting imperial throne.
He swallowed poison to stay alive, staged a death trap, and made himself a piece on the board, stirring up the world. From a northern fugitive slave whom others distrusted to a guest official entrusted with the family's forbidden secrets in the "Alchemy Chamber," he listened for thunder in the silence and searched old records for a way to survive.
Yet fragrance can please, and it can kill. When the true purpose of "Vermilion Garment Musk" was revealed, and the truth emerged that the Shen family's alchemy furnace was not used to make elixirs of immortality... only then did Li Dan realize that what he held was both a ladder to the clouds and a death warrant.
This is the story of an ordinary man, trapped in a desperate situation with no golden finger, who uses his wits as a blade and his courage as armor, fighting his way forward through the Southern Dynasty's endless drizzle.
