    Synopsis
    One day, a wandering peddler brought a gem to the court of Duan, which in it held a world of its own. The peddler named it as one’s most valued object. No one took the offer but the young prince Muyun Sheng, who is born of a beautiful spirit demon. He was prophesied to become the emperor and destroy the world. Because of this, he was not loved by the Emperor, and lived in seclusion and loneliness. While his brothers fought for the throne, the whimsical half-spirit demon prince spent his days seeking the mysteries of the gem. To the outside world, he was declared insane and then dead.

    Years later, when the emperor and his brothers died, the abandoned prince was pushed to the throne. Longing for the world of the gem and the woman he saw in it, he escapes the palace by blowing apart the barrier between it and the River Folks. Along with the palace, he left behind chaos and a country under attack on all sides. Leading the attacks on land was a young man, named Shuofeng Heye, a man who has tamed the wolves and seeks to unify the nomadic tribes and finally give them a home of their own.

    And then there is Muru Hanjiang, the son of the exiled family of generals who were once equals with the Muyun. Returning from the land of giants to seek revenge for the betrayal by the Muyun family, he ends being an unlikely ally to the young Emperor against the new ruler, Muyun Sheng’s uncle.

    Interwoven among the men are the women who also cannot escape from the storm of prophecies. The woman who was prophesied to become Empress but whose heart died with the death of a former prince, the Princess who lusts for blood, the ruler of the River Folks who wants to build an empire of her own, the treacherous Empress and her niece, who schemes to be the Empress.

    Pain and sorrows of past wounds now manifest in the new generation.

    Hmm, I suppose it is decently interesting.
    Will learn about it more and see what it's about.

    Found the ENG SUB, and hey with all that stabbing, also a bit of GoT feels with Chinese drama feel,
    I'm in. Will see where I can watch it.

    Adaptation or based on? :hmm: I find most of these so-called adaptations lean more towards 'based on' as they usually spin the plot so much we'll just get some bits here and there that 'sound' like it comes from the novel...

    I am Petie, do you know me? :aww: Post nr2 and nr3 is just me hogging space~~

    Yes, sure. I plan to add something~~ It's a whole world, an ancient, fictional world. There's three continents and nine provinces (九州). Different stories, different authors. Created together.
    Ju Jing Yi, who's starring in "Legend of Yun Xi, was main lead in another novel-adaptions(separate stories) last year.

    Do you mean the trailiers? I am stoked too! The budget is huge, and I love the cast.(*cough* male lead *cough*)
    Well, it'll be different if we are to judge by the previous one. But I can't say for sure since different novels, just same world. I'm still so excited! Proper greenscreens please~~

    I hope they haven't cut out the whole Winged Race, because I am really looking forward to how they'll look.

    EDIT: WAIT OMG I FOUND ONE! And it's the important one!风婷畅! Hope they don't screw up the CGI Wings.

    Helou, dwarf race is included!

    @LaDyViL I think, this is a real book adaption *squeals*, the previous one was just an original story, more idolesque than pure fantasy.

    More female characters than male characters--Check
    Definitely going to watch.
    Hopefully, the female lead is not as cringy and a doormat like Novoland

    I don't think they'll. I really like the leads, not the cutesy idol types. And also, I think they are also using the original voices of the cast. Pan Xi- Actress has a slight Cantonese accent, which I think I heard in the trailer(I think). I hate dubs the most, so that's a plus for me.

    Finding subs might be hard though since only k dramas get subs

    Rest assured! There'll definitely be subs, I know a couple of groups~~ If the official team is not already doing it :3

    It's more of a Xianxia-genre, but different from the usual setting, ie. Chinese Paladin.
    I see more of a GoT in this, but with Eastern setting. GoT is shook. I wonder if George RR Martin knew of Novoland, because Empires of Yi Ti fufu~ But I don't think there's any ENG translations of it yet.

    The story is quite dark, a tragedy, people seem to be dying here and there in trailer. I feel like I'll be crying some.

    Air Date: November 21st. Confirmed by the production team.
    Tencent, Youku, iQiyi -
    Tuesdays through Saturdays - 2 episodes each day!

    Although it's kind of worrying me that it seems to become a webdrama now(?) rather airing on tv "Hunan TV". I hope it doesn't get screwed up.
