[Ancient Fantasy and Folklore | Traditional Customs and Rites | Salvation Across Myriad Worlds | Fate Across the Ages]
At Dushuo grows a peach tree, and the gates of the underworld take in ten thousand souls.
Chu Siyan has guarded the balance of Yin and Yang for ages, upholds ancient rites, and performs funerals no one else in the world dares to conduct.
Five companions, each carrying a thousand years of obsession, travel across myriad worlds: a century-old executioner's blade, a broken tune from an opera stage, the warmth of a lifetime, and lonely snow on the frontier.
From lonely spirits among the living and loyal bones from the pre-Qin era to souls in paintings from the High Tang and a lone ship adrift in a sea of stars;
from an old temple in a windswept, snowbound mountain during the Republic of China to the people of a wasteland and the plaintive notes of palace performers.
Through one proper ancient rite after another, he guides every homeless soul beneath heaven to rest and soothes the regrets that have lingered through the ages.
Deep in the darkness of eternity, someone watches year after year, keeping silent vigil.
He guides countless people across, and sees countless matters through.
In the end, he guides all living beings to rest, and finally finds peace himself.
