"Reverse Scale: The Awakening of Dragon Soul" is a passionate fantasy novel that combines ancient martial arts, medical science and feelings of family and country. Lin Chengye, a young man, was originally an upright environmental reporter. He was imprisoned for five years for exposing the illegal discharge of pollutants by Yinghua Chemical, a state-owned enterprise in Yinghua. In prison, a mysterious old man taught him the "Tian Yan Jue", and he learned medical and mystical techniques and ancient martial arts, transforming into a descendant of the dragon's blood who was good at both civil and martial arts. On the day he was released from prison, the family crisis suddenly arose, and the ancestral land of Crouching Tiger Mountain was suddenly coveted. The "Dragon Extermination Plan" that had been buried for eighty years came to light - it was a genetic virus weapon left behind by the Sakura Kingdom.
Lin Chengye shouldered the Lin family's special bloodline, which was invulnerable to all poisons, and embarked on a journey to protect his country and cleanse his grievances. From treating diseases in the countryside to exploring ancient tombs in Hidden Dragon Mountain, from outsmarting biochemical traps to fighting biochemically modified humans, he used silver needles to overcome dangers, spells to suppress evil, and dragon shapes to defeat enemies, gradually uncovering the truth about his bloodline. The former fiancée Sophia reopens an old case and is deeply involved in the struggle between emotion and justice; her sister Lin Xueqi studies medical skills to help develop antidotes; the anti-war girl Chiba Sakurako secretly sends a message and uses her conscience to fight against the sins of the family.
