Set in a vast cultivation world governed by ancient laws, celestial prophecies, and powerful sects, Way of Choices follows the journey of Chen Changsheng, a young boy born with a rare and fatal illness. According to prophecy, his life is destined to end early, and no ordinary medicine or cultivation technique can save him. However, Chen Changsheng refuses to accept a fate written by the heavens. Raised in isolation by a mysterious master, Chen Changsheng grows up studying ancient texts, formations, and cultivation principles rather than brute strength. Armed with intelligence, perseverance, and an unbreakable will, he leaves his mountain home and enters the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Empire to seek a cure for his destiny. His ultimate goal is to pass the Great Examination, a legendary trial said to grant supreme cultivation opportunities and the power to rewrite one’s fate. As he steps into the capital, Chen Changsheng becomes entangled in a complex web of political struggles, sect rivalries, royal ambitions, and hidden conspiracies. Along the way, he forms strong bonds with trusted companions and crosses paths with powerful cultivators, noble families, and mysterious figures who each follow their own version of destiny. His journey is further complicated by ancient secrets involving demons, humanity’s survival, and the balance of the world itself. Unlike traditional cultivation stories focused purely on strength, Way of Choices emphasizes wisdom, morality, personal choice, and resistance against predetermined fate. The series masterfully blends action, romance, philosophy, and strategy, making every battle not just a clash of power but also a battle of ideals. With breathtaking animation, emotional character development, and a compelling narrative about challenging destiny, Way of Choices (择天记) stands out as one of the most influential Chinese fantasy anime, appealing to fans of cultivation, historical fantasy, and epic storytelling.
