Awakening from the Great Dream

An unexpected murder drew Li Xinghe, who had retreated from the martial world to wander far and wide, back into its turbulent and treacherous struggles.

In the south stood the Fuyao Manor; in the north, the Tiandao Guan Clan; and between them lay Shenzhou, a lawless land beyond anyone's control.

Returning to the martial world, Li Xinghe was inevitably swept into one tangled dispute after another, and the long-buried story of the Seven of Yaocheng came roaring back to light.

If everything he knows about the past is merely a conspiracy, how can he face the future?

The world is but a dream, and life brings autumn's chill again and again.

P.S. This was originally a Qing palace story about incest, but it was automatically locked. Since I couldn't continue writing on that subject, I simply changed the whole thing. There were too many comments to delete, and a lot of readers seemed confused, so I locked the comments to avoid spoiling the experience.

Theme: After witnessing a young hero's journey through the martial world, a legendary wanderer feels the long-lost vigor of youth stir within him. He faces the past head-on and casts off his inner demons.
