In the thirtieth year of the Jingtai era of the Great Xuan, the dynasty flourishes like a brocade, unaware that beneath its splendor, bones already lie thick upon the ground.
Here, martial prowess is not measured by the strength of one’s dantian or inner energy, but by the depth of the obsession in one’s heart.
A man consumed by hatred can sever a river with a single strike; a person grieving unto death can drown a lonely city with a single tear.
Gu Changyuan is a gravekeeper with no past. Carrying a wordless coffin on his back, he walks the boundary between reality and the “Delusion Realm.”
He has only one task: kill the “madmen” whose obsessions have grown so deep that they tear reality apart.
Then one day, he meets a blind woman who can see the colors of people’s hearts, and realizes that the greatest madman in this world may be the one sitting upon the dragon throne, dreaming the same great dream for three hundred years.
Onstage, a famed performer sings of a lifetime of blood and tears; deep within the palace, withered bones await the dawn.
