The Lantern Sutra

[Fantasy + Strange Tales + Light Mystery]

When the Tang Dynasty's empress took the throne, she used the Hetu and Luoshu to predict that she would die at the hands of the demon clan. A mysterious figure persuaded her to wipe out the demons.

The ancient classic The Classic of Mountains and Seas sealed countless ancient beasts. When its book spirit escaped, Feng Yue, head of the Demon Hunting Bureau, tried to stop it. As she died at the hands of Zhulong, she obtained a puppet belonging to the passing puppet maker Yan Jiushan. She attached herself to it, returning to life, and the two formed an unbreakable bond.

As the book spirit fled, a demon realm spread across Chang'an. Feng Yue and the puppet maker Yan Jiushan joined forces to capture the ancient beasts.

Song Qingling, who had died tragically three times and could brew extraordinary wine that allowed one to question ghosts and gods, teamed up with Ye Tang, a chivalrous and tenderhearted senior apprentice sister, to form a demon-hunting team.

Some devoured demons out of greed; others were mortals who fought fierce demons while traveling through time again and again to save their wives. One roamed the underworld, seeking a chance to reincarnate for the sake of her beloved... Through countless brushes with life and death, the four witnessed friendship, love, and bonds between humans and demons that were impossible to give up. Together, they ventured into the demon realm's infernal city, searched for the wondrous sea of the Three Realms, and created The Precious Lantern-Burning Manual to seal the demon spirits.

Along the way, the four discovered a conspiracy, brewing for a century, to destroy the mortal world...

The Precious Lantern-Burning Manual bears witness to this wondrous adventure of the young.
