Author's Preface:
Every person has a story in their mind, with varying lengths and muddled borders between imagination and reality.
For me, the manga Onmyō Taisenki is what inspired me to write this novel. I really wanted a story that belonged to and originated from my mind.
As this is my first time writing a novel, please share with me your opinions. I will go through all of them and hopefully learn and improve.
Lastly, I hope you'll enjoy reading Imperial Zenith: The Twenty-One Regalia. This novel might be a firefly among the lights, but no matter how dim it is, it could be a life-long memory for some. Perhaps it wouldn't light up the world, but at least it could light up yours.

Editor's Preface:
Imperial Zenith is a gem with great potential.
Having conversed with the author in person and discussed how he plans on developing the story, I am confident that this wuxia novel is one that invokes anticipation as you read every chapter.
The wuxia cultivation system has its roots in traditional wuxia novels, but the author refines and modifies the details to tailor a one-of-its-kind system that fits the development of the novel. Pair it with the twenty-one regalia that each has their unique powers, and a truly original oriental fantasy world is born.
As always, enjoy the story and let us know what you think in the comments. The author knows English and hopefully I can get him to engage with you guys.
