The Romance of Sui and Tang, with Gods and Demons

The supernatural version of The Romance of Sui and Tang can be summed up as a grand epic of immortals and demons, orchestrated by the Celestial Court and centered on Li Shimin, the Ziwei Star. A host of astral gods and demons descend to earth and take part in the rise and fall of the Sui and Tang dynasties, amid reincarnation, destiny, magical duels, and karmic retribution.

It transforms real historical events into pure myth. The heroes' courage is explained as the “will of Heaven,” while individual struggles seem both tragic and futile before the vast forces of fate. This gives the story a unique and captivating artistic appeal.
