Even the fairy-tale world of Pokémon is full of violence and lies. Fighting cannot solve everything. Only logic and thinking can break through the fog shrouding the truth. In the United States where ideals and reality meet, the secret cult is busy crowning the new king; criminals use Pokémon battles as a shield for their crimes; trainers in the secret room are deceived by their own special skills.

Sins under the sun, riddles in the night, this is a bizarre cyberpunk world... In the future of Brilliant City in 2276, the urban population explodes, human life span is extended, supplies are in short supply, food is poisonous, and classes are solidified. Childbirth is difficult, and crises are lurking in every corner of the city. In the mysterious 13 departments, Jean walks among the complicated forces, creating order in the city...

A poor mountain girl, Lu Fufu, transmigrates into a book. Her mission? To transform the story’s villainous tyrant into a wise and benevolent ruler.

Mu Linchuan is a true tyrant: narrow-minded, gloomy, petty, and ruthless.

After rebel forces seize the capital, he loses the use of his legs. It’s Lu Fufu—living in the Cold Palace—who carries him out from a pile of corpses.

The once-glorious young emperor falls from grace overnight. From a noble ruler, he becomes nothing more than a half-man with the stature of a child, someone everyone mocks and humiliates.

But when he sees the plain little girl stumbling around trying to get him medical help, the boy falls silent.

He is pessimistic, cynical, and weary of life—but for Lu Fufu, he’s willing to change. Bit by bit, he claws his way back to the capital.

To win for her. To protect her safety.

In later years, the Emperor of Dayong, Emperor Li of Yong, Mu Linchuan, would become a legend. As a youth, he was a tyrant beyond redemption.

After the fall of the capital and the loss of his legs, he was overthrown. But it took him ten whole years to fight his way back.

When he returned, he ruled with wisdom and compassion: quelling northern tribes, opening sea routes, cutting taxes, building canals. He became a celebrated monarch remembered for generations.

This era of his later reign came to be known in history as the "Yuanshuo Era of Governance."

And the reason for all this change, people say, was an unremarkable girl by his side.

That girl would later become Empress Yichun, once a forgotten consort cast into the Cold Palace.

But on the very day she was to be crowned empress, the beloved Yichun Empress tragically passed away. From then on, the deeply devoted young couple were separated by life and death.

The entire court watched as the heartbroken young emperor canceled morning court for days, absent-minded and grieving. He gave Empress Yichun the highest honors in burial: tiger-emblazoned banners, phoenix carriages, imperial parasols, and a place in the ancestral temples—an extravagant tribute of mourning.

As for Lu Fufu, she had a little secret she never told Mu Linchuan:

She had always planned to fake her death and disappear.

Du Heng traveled to Da Zhao and became the posthumous son of the former crown prince. Once his identity was exposed, he would be doomed.

Fortunately, he awakened the system and was rewarded with a "Tao Sutra". As long as he practiced step by step, he could condense different Tao seeds.

[In the realm of nourishing the body, you can condense the Tao seed "immortality"]

[In the realm of refining the body, you can condense the Tao seed "Tao bones and immortal fetus". ]

[In the realm of exhaling, you can condense the Tao seed "breath eater". ]

With such a "Tao Sutra", Du Heng became the only immortal cultivator in this martial arts world!
