Synopsis

In the ancient world lies a prophecy: Upon the arrival of Yong Ye, the world will be thrown into Chaos.

The story takes place in the Tang dynasty. When a family was unjustly massacred by a great general, only a young boy named Ning Que escapes. He manages to survive in the wilds through his wits and by defending the border of Tang and Yan as a soldier of sorts. One day, he digs a little girl he named Sang Sang, because of a mulberry shaped leaf birthmark on her foot (Sang sang means mulberry) out of a pile of corpses. Since that day, the two of them are inseparable. Ning Que joins the frontier military and eventually becomes part of the entourage of Princess Li Yu as she travels back to the capital. He manages to join the most prestigious academy in Tang where he discovers a hidden school within Tang Academy known as the Second Story. Members of this hidden school are invited disciples of Confucius (Fu Zi). He becomes the 13th disciple as well as the school’s ambassador. Becoming a disciple of Fu Zi leads him and Sang Sang to many wondrous and near death adventures.

When Sang Sang becomes ill with a mysterious illness, Ning Que takes her to a doctor, only to discover that Sang Sang is the reincarnation of Yong Ye (Eternal Night), a mysterious and powerful being that is prophesied to bring chaos. Many hostile forces are gathering around them, and people are not who they appeared to be. Is Ning Que the son of the King of Underworld, or the savior of humanity against the Eternal Night? Ning Que would defy the powers of Heaven and Earth to protect his beloved.
