The Hollow Emperor

Jin Zhang, the 'Hollow Emperor' who rules the trade path in the Qiyao Moyi Heaven Huaxu Fairyland, suffers the most bitter betrayal during her mortal tribulation. Her mortal identity, Zheng Xiyin, also known as 'Blood Taoist' and abbot of the Pingzhun Palace on Mount Damao in the Northern Song Dynasty, is falsely accused of 'sorcery disrupting the state and monopolizing trade profits' and is besieged by the imperial court and the Daoist sect, dying in resentment. However, her soul does not return to the celestial ranks but instead, carrying all the memories and divine powers of both the Hollow Emperor and the Blood Taoist, is reborn at the first critical turning point of her mortal fate—the third year of Yuanshuo under Emperor Wu of Han, when she, as 'Bowang Marquis' Zhang Qian, has just returned from the Western Regions and is receiving honors and rewards at the peak of her glory. At this moment, she is both Zhang Qian, the marquis who pioneered the Western Regions and left his name in history, and the trade path earth immortal who died unjustly a thousand years later, and even the Hollow Emperor dwelling in the celestial realm. The interweaving of triple memories and identities allows her to see the thorns and betrayals ahead. Her goal is no longer to be a loyal minister and good general but to use the mortal world as a chessboard and the trade path as a law to reopen the blocked path of 'wealth and fairness' and to find the hidden hand in the shadows of history that targets the 'trade path' and her. This time, she will not only reverse her personal tragedy but also carve a new path of life for the world.
