From the Start, I Find a Red Dragon's Reverse Scale and Become a Member of Tianhua Palace

Jinchuan, a failed scholar, happens upon a red pearl shaped like a reverse scale and is hailed as the reincarnation of the Crimson Dragon, thrust into the heart of power at Tianhua Palace. From a down-and-out merchant to the palace master commanding the Four Winds and Twelve Clouds, he holds a red pearl capable of killing, yet is caught up in the mystery surrounding the previous palace master's death and the betrayal of powerful factions. When he steps into the Celestial Dragon Marsh and ties the black cord of a criminal around one of his subordinates, with a trusted follower bowing before him and murderous intent hidden in their eyes, is he the Crimson Dragon of destiny, or a discarded pawn being controlled? A fantastical adventure of fate and betrayal begins.
