Chen Cuо arrives in the Chen Dynasty of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, becoming a member of the imperial clan. Initially expecting a historical narrative, the story takes an unexpected turn. "With cultivation and the accumulation of merit through incense and offerings, it seems I have no choice but to pursue longevity and enlightenment." This is the story of Chen Cuо's journey: By the willow shade, beneath the pine's shadow, he casts aside worldly attachments; he tames his desires, finding solace in the moonlight and the breeze, speaking only of longevity. It is said: The Heavenly Dao is profound and distant, ghosts and gods are vague and unclear. The setting sun's departure brings misfortune to the nine heavens.
