Blood Moon Tower

The master thief Yang Wu learns the secret of the Skull of the Death Abyss during a gambling match, only to discover that the skull points to the Blood Moon Tower, said to stand where Yin and Yang meet. Legend has it that the tower is filled with countless rare treasures, but most important of all, it hides the secret of immortality. An inscription on the tower reads: "Drifting clouds, a waning moon, blood fills the tower; a faint fragrance and sparse shadows, how many springs have passed?" Everyone schemes to gain eternal life, unaware that they have stepped onto a road from which no one returns, a path that ensnares the soul. A child of mysterious origins, a greedy merchant, an icy assassin, a seductive female thief, a scholar with a venomous heart... To preserve their youth forever and live as long as the heavens, they gather inside the Blood Moon Tower. Within the ghostly tower of endless illusions, behind four doors marked Wine, Lust, Wealth, and Temper, truth and illusion blur, and each person sees another version of themself.
