Curator note

Science, though revealing the laws of the external world, offers no help to life itself; heaven and earth, and all things, contain their own great Dao. I must understand these things, nourish myself, and seek the Dao with a spirit of investigating things. As a science student, Liu Zhizhi kept his distance from many matters of ghosts and spirits, but unexpectedly, before his death, his grandfather passed on the Five Ghosts and Yin Soldiers to him, unknowingly leading him onto a path of seeking the Dao… This book is entirely fictional.

Two hundred years ago, on the battlefield of the Blue River, the last legion of the Bright Empire collapsed amidst the clamor of the demons, and the empire's last emperor perished in battle. The chaotic Western Continent, without a common ruler, saw numerous heroes rise and fight amongst themselves. Military might became the only means of survival, and dominating the world was the dream of generations of powerful warriors. In the southeast of the continent, there exists a powerful force that has existed for over two centuries—the Zi Chuan family. They fought against the Liu Feng family to the west, resisted the demons to the east, and suppressed the Lin family to the south. For their dream of power, and for the continuation of their family bloodline, countless outstanding figures of Zi Chuan have followed one after another, composing an epic and magnificent history. This story, "Zi Chuan," tells the tragic legend of this family over a century.

A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings. These blessings, these blessings, will lead to unexpected encounters with benefactors; I am fortunate to have my mother, fortunate to have my mother, for she has accumulated unseen merit. I advise people to help the poor and needy… But who knows that in this world, while we inherit blessings from our ancestors, we must ultimately make our own choices about our path, just as a branch sprouts from a fork in the road: The east wind brings clouds and rain, and young vines sprout new buds. Urgent as a drumbeat, washing away all the velvet and splendor. Wait for the morning sun to rise, and the trellis in the courtyard will be covered in green. I long for the yellow leaves to fall, so I can harvest a few melons.

Curator note

This is a world where scholars wield the power of heaven and earth. With talent, one can kill enemies with poetry, annihilate armies with lyrics, and bring peace to the world with prose. A scholar can strategize on paper; a successful candidate in the provincial examination can compose poems and write essays; and a candidate in the imperial examination can engage in heated debates. When a sage arrives, he can condemn people with words and writings, punish individuals, and judge the emperor as tyrannical, making one a match for an entire nation. At this time, the Holy Academy held the civil service positions, the monarch controlled the official positions, ten kingdoms were vying for power, barbarian tribes were eyeing the country covetously, and demons were causing chaos. At this time, there was no flourishing of Tang poetry, no golden age of Song lyrics, no innovative writing, and no new sages for a hundred years. An unknown, poor boy, after having his head smashed, embarked on the path to sainthood, carrying with him timeless poems and astonishing writings.
