He is the youngest Martial God in the Celestial Realm, clad in white beneath the heavens and entrusted with maintaining order. He is the lord of countless ghosts in the Netherworld, clad in black and sworn to burn the heavens and break his chains.
Ling Xiao and Chong Ming, one a yang soul and the other a yin spirit, were twin spirits born from the yin and yang energies at the dawn of the Heavenly Dao. A thousand years ago, Ling Xiao personally sealed Chong Ming deep in the Netherworld, then ascended to godhood and sealed away his own memories. All he remembered was that he had once failed someone most important to him.
A thousand years later, Ling Xiao ascends to godhood for the third time, loses all his merit, and is forced to descend to the mortal world to gather offerings. During a night when countless ghosts roam, he "happens upon" Chong Ming, an unruly figure in black. The two join forces to solve cases, working together as seamlessly as ever, neither realizing that the other is the destined adversary, and his only other half.
When the Mirror Demon laughs, "You are the greatest flowers in the mirror," and the spiritual resonance on the night of the blood moon awakens their sealed memories, Ling Xiao finally realizes that the supposed conflict between good and evil is merely a game laid out by the Heavenly Dao. This time, he does not want to cross swords again.
"You are me, and I am you."
This is a reunion and reconciliation spanning a thousand years, a story about order and freedom, light and darkness. This epic xianxia tale, spanning ten million words, will show you how twin spirits go from sworn enemies to sharing one existence, and forge a third path beneath a shattered Heavenly Dao.
