A Rakshasa takes money from others and eliminates disasters for them. Once they strike, no one is left alive, and the common people call them Rakshasa Ghosts. Among the most outstanding Rakshasa Ghosts are those named the Fourteen Stars of the Heavenly Cycle, who wear Nuo opera masks to cover their faces. Ten years ago, Qi Sha, the foremost Rakshasa of the Great Liang, assassinated three imperial princes in a single night, helping the Prince of Liang seize the throne and ascend to the imperial throne. Thereafter, he retired to Wu Village. Ten years later, Crown Prince Xiao Rui, in his tyranny, roused the sleeping dragon's wrath, leading to the brutal slaughter of hundreds of lives in Wu Village. Qi Sha resolves to take up his old trade once more, turning his blade toward the imperial court.
