Beneath the sea of clouds over Cloud City lies a secret about red hair and fate.
Red-Haired Ghost: the name that makes the entire city tremble. Behind it lies a forgotten past: an abandoned infant from the Kunlun foothills, an apprentice at Blackstone Ridge, a fierce warrior among the Five Tigers, and a dictator of the royal city. Every step of his growth is paved with thorns and blood; every transformation strips away another part of his humanity.
The Taotie secret art gives him the power to destroy heaven and earth, along with endless greed. Sworn brotherhood brings him a brief warmth, then the deepest betrayal. At last, he stands atop the peak of power, his red hair blotting out the sky, his giant frame looking down on all living things. Yet he realizes that desire has long since bound him, turning him into the very thing he once hated most.
He thinks that controlling Cloud City means he can control his fate, unaware that a pen from the "real world" is quietly taking aim at his throne. The arrival of the young Kong Wen is no coincidence, but fate's backlash. The fall of that Godslaying Sword is no ending, but the closing loop of cause and effect in his life.
Across a thousand chapters, the story retraces Red-Haired Ghost's growth in depth: from survival to seizing power, from loyalty to betrayal, from man to ghost. When the movie begins, you'll understand that this "assassination" is never merely justice passing judgment on evil. It is also a soul's ultimate defiance of its own fate.
