The Boundless Abode: Young Master Yiren

[Good and evil alike are formidable] He can only win. Otherwise, he will fail to protect those he must protect, and those who died will have died in vain. A dying letter from a revered healer leads to the mysterious Bone Immortal Herb, stirring undercurrents among the various sects of the martial world. Gather five tokens made of Gumo Dark Iron, and the Nine Mysterious Caverns will open, revealing the Bone Immortal Herb. But doing so will also awaken the late emperor, who took his own life in the Imperial Tombs of the Nine Mysteries. Lin Yiren, son of the former crown prince of the State of Zhunguo, is determined to uncover the truth behind his father's death. His struggle to survive is fraught with danger, and unexpected incidents pile up as he publicly obeys the imperial command to retrieve the tokens while secretly planning to destroy them. Schemes within schemes, traps within traps: powerful foes lie ahead, and betrayal lurks behind. The crown prince's faction, which holds the military and political reins, presses its advantage; the duplicitous Emperor Ye spills blood across the martial world as if it were in the palm of his hand. The involvement of the Kingdom of Yanyue, the Muyuan Royal Court, and remnants of the former State of Xuanguo escalates matters at every turn. Old grudges between his mother and the martial-world fiend Ye Fusheng, as well as the Yilan Sect and Xiling Palace, make everything even more tangled. In a martial world and imperial court riddled with murder, amid schemes too numerous to evade, a love beset by hardship and a loyal martyr's unjust death awaiting redress, Lin Yiren faces the complexity of human nature, conflicts of interest, and his own inner turmoil. In the end, he uncovers every secret and, with help from the Yanyue heir apparent Yan Xu, who is both friend and foe, and the Yilan Sect's little swindler Gu Xiaoshan, breaks the deadlock between rival factions and the crisis closing in from within and without to emerge the winner.
