Chang-li may be a humble scribe, but he dreams of becoming a cultivator. When a ghost's legacy gives him a chance to follow that dream, he seizes it, defying the hidebound Empire and its vast array of rules and customs as he masters lux and perfects himself. But a cultivator needs more than just power — he needs a sect. What starts as a scheme to avoid punishment becomes reviving the ancient Sect of Morning Mist and its lost techniques. Here a scribe can become a cultivator, a slave can win freedom, a princess can discard upbringing. If they can avoid entangling marriages, official scrutiny, and more powerful enemies, the heavens are the limit — though someone destroyed Morning Mist once, and having his license revoked may be the least of Chang-li's problems.
