Record of Nine Towers Fighting for Dingding

When he was sixteen years old, Liu Changan didn't know what he was. He has no natal star. In a world where everyone has stars above his head, his sky is empty. The adoptive father, Liu Laolai, only said that this was not a lack, but "not being named" - as for what the "name" was, he did not say. It has been five hundred years since the founding of Daqian. But something is starting to go wrong in the sky - the star orbits are shifting, the spiritual energy is out of order, and several "extremely thin rock layers" underground are getting thinner inch by inch. The bottom of the old well in Liushu Village was engraved with lines that no one could understand; Chang'an followed those lines and drew the first talisman in his life. Then, three groups of people came. The envoy of Daqian, the dead man of King Jin, and the spy of Jiuqu Company - they don't know each other, but they have only one target: the thing at the bottom of the well. Overnight, the village disappeared. Lao Zhou died in front of the door, Lao Liu was carried away, and Chang An survived with a talisman, half a jade tablet, and someone else's name. From then on he became a key. Everyone wanted to use him to open the door, but no one told him what was behind the door. "Nine Towers Fighting for the Cauldron" writes about the life of a "starless person". He drew talismans, broke through realms, and climbed over the wind wall between the nine realms. He went from being a chess piece being fought over, to being a person who marked the names of the dead, and finally he became a tree - no one sitting under the tree to rest had any idea who he had been. The core is three mysteries and three pains: who opened the door three hundred years ago; how an empire disintegrated from within; and how to maintain peace after the war stopped. It doesn't write about who won, only about those who should have won but lost in the end. May you live in peace here.
