    Xie Chenzhou hated Sang Nian. Everyone thought so, including himself. But on the day she died, Xie Chenzhou abandoned the path of immortality for the path of demons, leaping into the endless purgatory. He traversed countless floating corpses in the River of Oblivion, inch by inch searching through three hundred miles of the Yellow Springs. The underworld trembled, evil spirits howled, and even the immortals and gods on both banks paled at the sound. Everyone said Xie Chenzhou had gone mad. Only Xie Chenzhou knew that he only wanted to find one person. His wife, his… Nian Nian. Warning: This is a small-scale ensemble portrait of redemption, with sweet and angsty moments, no female rivalry, HEHE.
