风起洛阳之神机少年

Set in the year of Zaichu, the divine city of Luoyang. Empress Wu, wielding absolute power and poised to ascend the throne, issues a 'talent recruitment edict,' announcing the reopening of the imperial examinations. Talented individuals from across the country flock to Luoyang. Simultaneously, a mysterious fox demon emerges in Luoyang, stealthily attacking young candidates, leading to their disappearances and widespread fear among the populace. Pei Kun, a descendant of the Lianshan Hall skilled in 'Yuan Gui' techniques, arrives in Luoyang and gets entangled in a demon-hunting operation by chance. He defeats the fox demon and uncovers Bai He, a Chun Qiu Dao assassin hiding near Princess Taiping. Pei Kun's high-profile actions draw the attention of various forces in Luoyang. Driven by his master's last wish to uncover the truth of the past, Pei Kun collaborates with the Imperial Guards and the Court of Judicial Review. Simultaneously, the Empress's intelligence chief, Gongzi Chu, offers him an olive branch. Gongzi Chu had already detected the resurgence of the ancient organization Chun Qiu Dao, revealing that the fox demon incident was merely a distraction. Pei Kun embarks on a journey to unveil the grand conspiracy concealed behind these events.
