THE DEAD SHALL RISE
As winter descends, Chen Xing and Xiang Shu journey north beyond the Great Wall in search of the elusive Dinghai Pearl—only to find that the politics among the tribes of the Chi Le Covenant are just as treacherous as those of the Imperial Capital.
But political strife is not the only danger that awaits them. Restless spirits stir awake, turning their journey into a battle for survival on the icy plains. As Chen Xing refuses to turn back and Xiang Shu struggles to balance duty and destiny, the path ahead grows ever more perilous—one that may force them to fight not just for their mission, but for each other.

Dinghai Fusheng Records (定海浮生录) is a danmei webnovel series written by Arise Zhang (also known as Fei Tian Ye Xiang). It was originally serialized on JJWXC starting in 2019, where it ran for 138 chapters. Chronologically, Dinghai Fusheng Records is the first book in the Exorcism universe and takes place in the same world as Legend of Exorcism. It has both a manhua and a donghua adaptation. The first and second volumes of the manhua are available in English from Seven Seas, and the manhua’s third volume is slated for release in August 2025.
Seven Seas Entertainment describes the story as:
The hit novel series that inspired the comic/manhua—also available in English from Seven Seas—and the animated series/donghua! In an ancient China where magic has been nearly extinguished, two young men must work together to prevent the destruction of all life. (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 with no spiritual qi have allowed resentment to build unchecked, and it’s only a matter of time before calamity descends and the world is plunged 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, now 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 that’s supposed to guide him to the destined Protector who will fight at his side. The heart lamp picks 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.
Fei Tian (also known as Chicken-gege) has written many popular danmei works, including Legend of Exorcism, Joyful Reunion, and To Rule in a Turbulent World.
