It has been three hundred years since magic disappeared. Chen Xing is the last exorcist--the only one with any remaining vestiges of spiritual power--tasked with unsealing the spiritual qi of Heaven and Earth before Mara descends and brings ruin to the world. But Chen Xing needs a Protector for his journey, and the one fate leads him to is death row convict Xiang Shu: handsome and capable, yet accused of massacring two thousand people!
With each life claimed by war and disaster, calamity draws inexorably nearer, and dark forces seem determined to hasten its approach. Chen Xing himself has less than four years left before his life is destined to end. He has no choice but to put his trust in Xiang Shu...that is, if his supposed Protector is willing to cooperate at all.
I was already familiar with the opening moments of Dinghai Fusheng Records having previously reviewed the first volume of the manga. I enjoyed the novel just as much. The world building was well handled, the pacing of the action was generally good, and the characters were well portrayed. I enjoyed the banter and the dynamics between Chen Xing and Xiang Shu and I am eager to see how things progress between them as the story continues. I have volume two already on pre-order, so I will definitely be reading on, and I am giving this volume 4.5 stars. I recommend it to danmei fans who like tales with a blend of history and fantasy and don't mind super slow burn on the romance side of things.
