Li Changfeng, descendant of the former dynasty’s Imperial Preceptor, has fallen into the common streets, scraping by with half-baked fortune-telling and petty scams. A murder case forces him to awaken: with a single glance, he can judge life and death. But this also draws him into a century-old conspiracy.
The Ziwei star sinks in the west. The Imperial Preceptor dies for the Way. An ancestral prophecy hangs over him like a blade. All he wants is to swindle a little money and trade barbs with Su Muxue, his landlady’s daughter. Yet this naturally powerful woman has the baleful Pojun star sealed inside her.
The court’s Investigations Bureau closes in at every turn, while the Hall of Eternal Life hunts him down for his life. Three major shadowy factions tear into one another, and he, a streetwise rogue, is shoved into a deadly whirlpool.
“If Heaven means to destroy me, then I’ll change my fate.”
This world is one he intends to fight for.
It's good-looking, has a fast storyline and a lot of foreshadowing.
