The entire class transmigrated together into the fictional dynasty of Great Qi.
Former classmates were scattered across the martial world and the imperial court. But if the secret of their modern origins came to light, none of them would escape death.
After the Loyal Martyrs' Marquis estate was destroyed, its orphan, Zhou Buqi, became a low-ranking banner officer in the Imperial Guards, struggling to survive amid the cracks of power. A strange case involving a corpse floating in a charity burial ground led him to a horrifying truth: the dead man was a fellow countryman who had transmigrated here.
Someone was willing to murder former classmates to keep the secret.
Classmates who once spent every day together now drew their blades against each other, with deadly traps lurking everywhere. Old cases at court stirred beneath the surface, while remnants of the deposed crown prince's faction roiled the political scene. As Zhou Buqi evaded his fellow countrymen's attempts to hunt him down, he also worked to unravel one mystery after another.
On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a banquet at the old Marquis estate would decide the fate of all the outsiders.
