The Hymn of Dragons and Crows

In a forgotten village beneath the shadow of the empire, Wei Xianyu survives by lowering his gaze and hiding the brilliance of his mind. But when an exiled prince crosses his path — hunted by assassins and betrayed by blood — silence becomes a luxury he can no longer afford. A single strategy changes everything. Taken from the life of a teahouse ornament and thrust onto a road lined with blades, Xianyu discovers that the world of princes, sects, and cultivation is far more treacherous than poverty ever was. The Dowager Empress tightens her grip on the throne. A bounty spreads across the land. Shadows stalk the mountain roads. And within Xianyu himself, something ancient begins to stir. In a realm where spiritual roots decide fate and power crowns the ruthless, will a boy once called the “Flower of Longhua” become a blade sharp enough to rewrite destiny? Or will he be crushed beneath the schemes of dragons?
