The Legend of Luo Shen

Recently, the people of Tianzun City have been restless. A major story is spreading through every street and alley:

The sacred artifact that can summon an ancient divine dragon, the Wings of Luoshen, has appeared in the world once more!

The position of leader of the Five Sages of Tianzun City has always been one where its holder stands above all but The Outcast, yet commands everyone else.

The seat had been vacant for years, until a red-haired youth clad in battle armor returned.

He is Shang Hen, master of the Wings of Luoshen, and the new leader of the Five Sages.

In high places, everyone is playing chess.

Family ties, friendship, and love can all become pieces on the board.

Those caught in a predicament: are they the ones playing chess, or merely someone else's pieces?

* Strong leads, seme protagonist, political intrigue

* The ending is probably in the style of O. Henry

* Everyone in the story is an adult. There is no concept of mutual chastity, and no pretenses of virtue

* Strongly old-school in flavor, with an arrogant male lead who loves showing off
