During the Xuan Dynasty of the Great Qin Dynasty, the night mist hides treacherous things.
There is a bang and demons are rampant.
The new night watchman Lu Zhao holds a blood-stained hammer and rescues the mysterious girl Xiao Wuyue who is wearing dragon scales on the night when his master suddenly dies. A "soul-soothing bang" that reverses yin and yang, and a bronze fragment that hides the secrets of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, involve him in a shocking crisis where nine mermaid lamps are about to be extinguished and the dragon soul is exterminated.
The nursery rhyme prophecy of the crazy concubine in the cold palace, the magnet killing array of the ghost market puppet master, the bloody lamp oil of the East China Sea Shark Kingdom...
Lu Zhao, along with a cold-faced female detective of half-dragon blood and a blindfolded boy who is riddled with traps, travels between the intrigues of the court and the Xuanmen killings.
When the star map of the Lishan Underground Palace illuminates the ambitions of the Jiuli survivors, and when the "morning bells and evening drums" shatter the God-killing conspiracy of the Scarlet Sky Alliance,
They discovered that the so-called awakening of the dragon soul was actually a scam by Heaven to obliterate civilization.
When the sound of banging breaks the dawn, the fate of the night watcher is like a chain:
Using the bang as a sword and the soul as a lamp, in the gap between eternal night and dawn, I will sound the last drum for the common people.
