Synopsis:

The Da Dong empire consists of six States, each ruled by a king swearing allegiance to Da Dong's emperor.  But when the imperial token is lost, unrest ripples across the political world because the token will lend legitimacy to any claim to be the next emperor, and the respective rulers of the six States do not lack ambition.  At the same time, an ancient evil sect long thought to be defeated resurfaces in jianghu, threatening to unleash destruction.    

Amidst this backdrop, jianghu's most powerful duo, the handsome and elegant Hei Feng Xi and the beautiful and carefree Bai Feng Xi join hands to uncover the conspiracy.  Both have hidden identities and must stay three steps ahead of their enemies, as they seek to unmask the hidden hand that is drawing all into a chaotic and bloody power struggle.  

But can Hei Feng Xi and Bai Feng Xi prevail against the odds? And who will ultimately rule the world?

First thoughts:

🐼: You really can't go wrong with a Zhao Lu Si and Yang Yang pairing!  The wuxia /jianhu elements are fantastic.  Sort of wish there was more wuxia and less politics...
