The Eight Wilds of the Classic of Mountains and Seas

A young man from a declining tribe of ancient shamans quietly inherits the long-lost Zhuyou Forbidden Curse. He enters the powerful families of the Great Jin and stirs up the Eight Wastelands.

Make a straw doll and curse an enemy to death. Shed your shell like a cicada. Slay immortals with a flying blade.

Buddhists and Daoists vie for supremacy, noble families scheme against one another, sects clash, and every clan seeks dominion.

Literary version: Life is so lonely, and on this lonely road, you and I, both alone, cross paths. From then on, one person's footsteps are joined by another's voice.
