Last Dynasty

Synopsis

Gao Ying was so happy he finally got to be a student of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts… Maybe a little too happy, arriving there a day early. Like they say, you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs!

To while away the night, he checked into a hotel in the old town. Little did he know that this would entangle him in a centuries-old conflict between local mystical forces.
