In the troubled times where immortals and mortals coexist and Taoists fight endlessly, Shiguan, the eldest daughter of the Shi family in Qingzhou City, although she comes from a merchant family, possesses a rare "all-attribute spiritual root" - she is judged by the immortal sect as a "waste of heaven" and has no hope of practicing.
A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of having a jade;
The Shi family's mastery of the unique secret skill "Fengqi Brocade" and the mysterious spiritual energy attracted the covetousness of the immortal sect, and the family was ruined overnight. Shiguan was burdened with a blood feud and went into exile to survive in a desperate situation.
She stood up from the ashes of her family's destruction and struggled to survive at the bottom of the Immortal Sect. With her astonishing perseverance and wisdom, she used books as swords and knowledge as armor in the Sutra Pavilion. After hundreds of years of accumulation, she found a new path outside of the immortal way - cultivating "humanity" with "literary heart", integrating the awe-inspiring righteousness of Confucianism into herself, and creating her own unique path of "opening up the world".
From Qingzhou to the imperial capital, from the mortal world to the immortal gate, Shiguan uses the Heart Lake as the foundation and Confucianism as the blade to deal with good and evil, gain insight into the mystery of the dragon's veins, and face the truth of the "Dao struggle". This is a reverse journey that shakes the way of heaven with the hearts of mortals. It is also an epic story of the rise of a saint with time as the furnace and faith as the fire.
——If the law of heaven does not allow it, then I will make my own way!
Purpose: Through the two hundred years of dormancy and rise of a girl with "wasted spiritual roots", we explore how individuals resist with knowledge, will and resilience in the face of the injustice of fate and powerful established rules - this is a hymn about tenacity, accumulation and indomitable spirit, and is also a profound reflection on the nature of "power".
