 It is the fourteenth year of Chenghua.
 As the harem has Imperial Consort Wan, the Western Depot has a Commander named Wang Zhi. Crown Prince Zhu Youcheng is merely eight years old—and no one knows if he will be able to reach adulthood without issue.
 The Emperor has nothing to his name, despite putting on an act that suggests otherwise; the eunuchs deceive their superiors while taking advantage of those beneath them; and the subjects of the Imperial Court are patching up the leaks. As there are those with savagely pride for the evil, there are those who cannot help but sigh helplessly for the good.
 With the ways of the world like this, how could the ways of the heavens possibly be just?

 Yan Wushi had walked a path full of blood and corpses.
 He did not believe in the good nature of humanity. Even more so, he did not believe that there could be someone with great kindness and sense of justice, who would be so considerate of others without asking anything in return.
 One day, Shen Qiao, who was the sect leader of Mount Xuandu, the number one Daoist sect under the heavens, was challenged to a duel but somehow fell off the cliff.
 Yan Wushi happened to pass by down there.
 Seeing Shen Qiao who was seriously injured to the point of dying, he suddenly came up with a perfect idea…
 After thousands of autumns, who could stay eternal?

 After finally being admitted to the Department of Exorcism, Dong Zhi’s dream was to grasp both work and love as he strives to pursue an icy male-god, igniting an intense love affair.
 A train bound for spring was the beginning of everything. The mountains were solitary, blanketed with snow as smoke from gunpowder dissipated. In the brilliant morning rays, Dong Zhi’s gaze fell on Long Shen’s back. Countless of words he have for him, hidden deep within his eyes.
 “To you, whom I love dearly with all my heart, my time in this life, I’ll offer them to you.”

 He had four disobedient disciples, who now achieved success, won recognition and established their own sects.
 The embarrassing thing is that it was him who drove those four out of his sect to make them independent.
 But one day he had an incident and lost his cultivation. His life was hanging by a thread. Wandering around, he walked into his third disciple’s territory.
 What should I do?
 Mountains and seas can be tamed, days and nights can disappear.
 Only you, the exceptional you, refuse to give up.
 ——
 A man blessed with fortune, the best in his generation, had an accident and started anew; broken in body but firm in spirit, he now uses his wisdom to guide his evil disciples back to the right path.
 Notes : 
 The title 参商 (Shēnshāng) has two meanings: 
 1) Constellations Shen (ch. “Three Stars mansion”, eu. Orion) and Shang (ch. “Heart mansion”, eu. Antares), which never appear at the same time. 
 2) Two friends/relatives who are separated/estranged and irreconcilable.

 In the third year of the Kaihuang era, as the Great Sui began to unfold between the fall of the Northern Dynasties and the rise of the glorious Tang Dynasty, Emperor Yang Jian created the House of Blades – an intelligence agency for strategies and conspiracies – in preparation to unify the world.
 On a snowy night, a convoy of tribute from the Kingdom of Khotan was raided. Not one soul survived the attack. Feng Xiao, Second Commandant of the House of Blades, was ordered by the Emperor to investigate the matter in person.
 On the distant border, a storm brewed as major forces gathered from all sides in Liugong Town. The strong rubbed shoulders with the strong; the skilled crossed paths with the skilled.
 Here, the ever-successful Second Commandant Feng ran into a wall for the first time – all because of a feeble Taoist priest with ailing health.
 Some things would never be known if no fights were ever picked. Only through their skirmishes did Feng Xiao realise that this sick bastard seemed to have way more aliases and personas than he himself ever did.
