Modern doctoral student Lin Muyun transmigrates to Dasheng, a fictional dynasty flourishing with literary talent and beautiful women. From the start, he is trapped in an awkward betrothal to Su Qingyue, known as “Jinling’s foremost beauty and talent,” and faces a deadly predicament: a broken engagement at a poetry gathering and an assassin waiting in the shadows.
Yet he carries the treasures of five thousand years of Chinese poetry in his heart, and possesses an unparalleled legacy from another world.
Poetry as a blade: One “Green Jade Table: Lantern Festival” stuns the world, earning him the title of “Immortal Poet.” Two lines of wild cursive script, sweeping like dragons and snakes, make him famous throughout Jinling, winning a prince’s admiration and capturing the heart of a talented beauty.
Love as a game: The aloof beauty Su Qingyue, the innocent princess Zhao Ling’er, the cool and elegant leading courtesan Xie Xuehen, the spirited heroine Qin Wanqing… The fates of twenty peerless beauties become intertwined with his. A jade orchid pendant beneath the moon draws two generations into a feud of love and hate, while a secret from the previous dynasty conceals a startling mystery.
Martial arts to protect the Way: A steel flute hides its edge; starlight tempers his body. He hones his blade amid schemes and assassins, and uncovers the secret of immortality in deadly contests for treasure. From a frail scholar to a peerless master of poetry and swordsmanship, he becomes a prodigy of romance, commanding the rise and fall of fate itself.
This is a tale of talented scholars and beautiful women, of romance and moonlit nights; it is also a world of martial heroes, grudges, and imperial intrigue, and an immortal legend about seeking the Way to eternal life.
See how Lin Muyun, in the great Dasheng dynasty:
Wields the power of the realm by day, and sleeps in a beauty’s arms by night.
With a stroke, stirs wind and rain; with a sword, settles the fate of the world.
Tempers his heart in the mortal world, and proves his immortality through love and beauty.
