As If in Ancient Times

Do you know that when Hongmeng first came into being, our ancestors had already mastered the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, their soaring ambition enough to outshine the gods of Marvel, DC, Greece, and Rome?

Alas, after the "Heaven and Earth Slaughter" over control of the Three Realms and the "Sun and Moon Shine Together" caused by infighting in the Immortal Realm, almost all the ancient primordial spirits were lost. They were forced into the "Era Like Ancient Times," when the five great spiritual elements each ruled their own domain. Every faction had just one trick up its sleeve, so no one would dare start another fight. Any immortal who exceeded the limits of their own spiritual element was seen as a source of chaos, labeled "Unusual Talent," and secretly eliminated.

The heroine, Yan'er, is the beloved daughter of the Lord of the Eastern Realm. From birth, she was the "Unusual Talent" most feared by the Heavenly Court, and the slightest misstep could cost her life.

This naive fairy prefers armor to finery. Her first secret trip to the mortal world tore away the Immortal Realm's veil of respectability and dragged her into a shocking conspiracy to overturn and destroy the Three Realms. Along the way, she becomes entangled in heart-wrenching romances with the Western Region's Martial Saint, the Young Elephant King; the Four Seas' God of War, King Qing Cang; and the Crown Prince of the Netherworld.
