Alas, countless loves in this world are breathtakingly beautiful, yet in the end, a demon bewitched the eyes. The ancient xun flute, Jinxuan, returned to Su Zhen’s hands, and fragments of the past began to fit together again. Alongside a stunning young general, she sets out on a road of no return, uncovering the secrets hidden behind a compassionate, enlightened monk. A single Sili hairpin binds them in an obsession spanning ten thousand years and ushers in an age of chaos. A single Soul-Seeking Lantern, fueled by a living soul, can find anything. A single Frost-Drenched Umbrella, where ice and fire merge, can wash away the world’s corruption. A pair of Heaven-Covering Maces bears the weight of countless wronged souls and their sins. A single Time-Delight Sundial, watered with blood, seduces the heart with its desires. A single flowering tea tree, burdened with the bitter fate of Lady Meng, who guards the Yellow Springs and longs in vain for her beloved’s return. … A scar that had healed is brutally torn open once more, leaving it slick with blood. War ravages the chaotic world, smoke billowing everywhere. Who can say who brought disaster upon the land and its people?
