People cultivate the Dao in search of immortality.
Shen Yan cultivates the Dao simply to repay a debt.
In an age when immortals have gone mad and vengeful ghosts sit the imperial examinations, he is the only one bold enough to make the King of Hell sign an IOU.
The brush in his hand can bring the dead back to life and draw a line that splits rivers. But every character he writes costs him a piece of his own past.
At first, all he wanted was to remember who he was.
Later, every stroke he wrote became a new rule for the world.
"Don't trust anyone holding a brush."
"Because even they may not remember whether what they wrote is true."
