(Fast-paced)
Shen Mo transmigrates to the Great Jing Dynasty, where literary culture flourishes. He hopes to use modern knowledge to pass the imperial examinations and earn a noble title, but a poem, “When Will the Bright Moon Appear,” brings him a death sentence.
At death’s door, he glimpses the truth behind imperial power: beneath the official robes, all is uncanny.
Thanks to a family heirloom jade pendant, he dies yet does not die, becoming a “living corpse” and embarking on the perilous path of corpse liberation and immortality.
He then builds his foundation with profound yin energy, forging a very different path to immortality.
