Vertical alliances bring together the weak to attack the strong; horizontal alliances serve one strong power to attack the weak.
The Wei family's maxim: Go everywhere, enter everywhere, and find nothing impossible. To achieve one's aims, stop at nothing. Only then can Wei You help protect the Ghost Valley. Why is he so ruthless?
The Ghost Valley recruits talented people to serve the royal domain, but never expected to attract a remarkable woman: Yu Zhen. She can speak, yet keeps silent. Careful at every turn and watchful with every step, what is she really after?
The royal domain in the Central Lands, the withered vines of the Northern Kingdom, the Pengyu of the Eastern City, the sandy lands of the Western Reach, and Cang'er in the Southern Capital: the five lands vie for power in the realm of Lanyuan. Who will rule the land in the days to come?
As alliances form and rivalries unfold, watch how everyone struggles to find a chance to survive.
