In this realm, Confucians, Daoists, Buddhists, demons, and sorcerers coexist. Awakening in a dark prison, Wei Wuji, a graduate of the police academy, finds himself ensnared, with only three days before his exile to the remote borders... Initially, his sole aim was self-preservation, aspiring to live as a leisurely wealthy man in a society devoid of rights. Years later, as Wei Wuji gazes back upon the past, he is haunted by the specters of fallen foes and departed friends, their bones strewn along the path he once tread. The mighty Yangtze River flows relentlessly eastward, its waves erasing the heroes of yore, leaving only echoes of right and wrong, success and failure, as fleeting as a breath. Yet the verdant mountains remain steadfast, bathed in the hues of countless setting suns.
