Era background: The ancient Xuanyuan Dynasty is imaginary. On the surface, rituals and music are prosperous, there are many aristocratic families, and the etiquette and laws are strict. In fact, the court is decayed, the powerful are strife, secret laws are rampant, officials and gangsters collude, and human lives are in vain.
In ancient times, there were five inherited families, corresponding to the five elements of heaven and earth. They were in charge of ancient secrets, historical records, and the world's checks and balances for generations. They are: Qi family (wood), Xin family (fire), Yuan family (earth), Yue family (gold), and Ling family (water).
Seven years ago, all members of the five great aristocratic families were wiped out overnight, and the world disappeared. There were no corpses, no traces, no edicts, no murders. The government and the public kept silent, and the historians deleted the records. It became the first unsolved case in ancient times.
No one knows: the destruction of the five major families was not due to natural disasters and vendetta, but because they saw through the darkness of the dynasty, glimpsed the deception of heaven, and wanted to subvert the order of the powerful. In the end, they were wiped out and their existence was wiped out by the secret power of the court.
Purpose: To tear apart the pretense of the "prosperous age of rituals and music" of the Xuan Yuan Dynasty with a series of bizarre stories and supernatural cases; the so-called Five Elements of Destiny are a cage fabricated by the powerful. Kindness, passion, stability, rationality, and transparency are vulnerable to the decadent era. Pure people will eventually be crushed by the world, reflecting the social reality of solidified classes, strife between officials and power, and the helplessness of the people.
