Synopsis

In the fourth year of the Daguan era, a boy came falling from the sky with a scream, right in front of four mischievous children. From that moment on, the world had a new variable.

That year, Cai Jing left Dongjing. Gao Yanei had yet to learn how to harass other men’s wives. A proud warrior in the lands of white mountains and black waters gazed aloofly at the sky, while Yelu Yanxi hurried toward his next hunting ground. In the imperial palace in Kaifeng, exotic flowers and plants, rare birds, and strange beasts arrived from Jiangnan in droves.

This was the best of times: an age when people called the emperor “the Official” instead of “Your Majesty,” an age of literary brilliance, an age when steel production exceeded that of all Europe, the pinnacle of Chinese civilization.

This was the worst of times: an age when a single order could ruin a family, a stroke of the brush could cost someone their land, and peerless heroes were tortured to death over baseless accusations. It was the beginning of Chinese civilization’s descent into darkness.

Now that there’s a new variable, will everything still turn out the same?
