Lin Wan, a cultural relic restorer, traveled through the Kangxi Dynasty and became the daughter of a shaman and a descendant of a thousand-year-old pulse keeper. She witnessed with her own eyes that the Dragon Veins of the Qing Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Kangxi wanted to sacrifice the emperor's blood, but Prince Yinreng knelt down late at night and begged: "Let my son and minister die in his father's stead."
Holding the ancestral compass in hand, Lin Wan saw the truth about Qi: the deathbed of the eighteenth prince was entangled with a deadly Gu array, the Qintian Prison was secretly spreading sorcery, and amid the party struggle for the heir apparent, a sacrifice was brewing to replace the "emperor's blood" with "the blood of his legitimate son". "The prince was deposed" is an understatement in the history books, but in fact it is a tragic cycle in which Yin Reng sacrificed his body to extend the life of the dynasty for twelve years.
She only wanted to record it, but was forced to get involved. Kangxi entrusted the secret box: "You are the keeper of the pulse, and you should lead the dragon to a smooth path." In order to break the deadlock, she painted talismans with blood, visited mass graves at night, and fought for her life with the mastermind behind the scenes. However, when the prince's blood stains the Ancestral Temple and the dragon's veins are temporarily restored, she realizes that the "sacrifice of the system" she personally promoted is just a new garment put on by the cycle of history.
From blood sacrifices, martial sacrifices, cultural sacrifices to institutional sacrifices, sacrifices never stop. Lin Wan hid the truth in "The Fragment of Dragon Vein" and waited for the destined person three hundred years later. And history is slowly turning around in front of her eyes.
