Dinghai Fusheng Records (Novel) Vol. 1

Dinghai Fusheng Records (Novel) Vol. 1 by Fei Tian Ye Xiang is a hit danmei/Boys' Love novel originally released in Chinese. It has inspired animation and a comic/manhua, also available from Seven Seas!

In an ancient China where magic has been nearly extinguished, two young men must work together to prevent the destruction of all life. The story takes place in the same universe as Legend of Exorcism.

Once, ancient China was brimming with magic, but three hundred years ago, the Spiritual Qi of the Heavens and Earth dried up in the Silence of All Magic. Hundreds of years without spiritual qi have allowed resentment to build unchecked, and it's only a matter of time before calamity descends, plunging the world into chaos and destruction.

Once-powerful exorcists have done their best to preserve their legacy in the centuries since, but now only one remains: Chen Xing. He is tasked with venturing out into the war-torn world to prevent the impending apocalypse.

Chen Xing's sole magical ability is the heart lamp, a supernatural light source meant to guide him to the destined Protector who will fight at his side. The heart lamp chooses Xiang Shu, a mysterious stranger with no interest in being a hero—but fate has other plans for them both.

A terrifying conspiracy looms over the Divine Land, and whether Xiang Shu likes it or not, Chen Xing may be his only hope of thwarting the impending darkness.
