Sky Screen Chronicles: The Blood Curtain Era

Synopsis of The Sky Screen’s Hidden History: Chronicles of the Blood Curtain

In 2025, a crimson “blood curtain” suddenly hangs across the sky, its layered barrages tearing holes in humanity’s understanding of the world. Amid the whispers of the dead, the “truth” of a thousand years of history is overturned piece by piece: the lingering soul of Xia Jie, bearing bones from the Yin ruins and rubbings of oracle bones, claims that Tang of Shang fabricated the righteousness of his campaign against Jie; Confucius’s halo as a “sage” shatters when he is revealed to have been a spy planted by the State of Lu; and the case accusing Yue Fei of treason takes a dramatic turn, with Song Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou exposed as the mastermind and Qin Hui revealed as a scapegoat in a power struggle.

As the “Tomb Keeper Voting Mechanism” advances, one dark secret after another comes to light across the dynasties: Mozi of the pre-Qin era built living human puppets, Shang Yang used refugees to pad his military accomplishments, and Li Jiancheng of the Tang dynasty offered to yield the throne only to be betrayed by Li Shimin. History textbooks are hastily rewritten, and the public’s faith in civilization collapses, throwing people’s understanding of the world into chaos.

In 2026, an even more terrifying mutation arrives: the lingering souls in the blood curtain break free from the constraints of “phantoms” and evolve into “corporeal forms” capable of possessing and controlling people. A “Qin Domain” appears in Xi’an, where modern technology is forbidden, while Nanjing’s “Jin Civilian Protection Zone” forcibly imposes Eastern Jin rites. People possessed by the lingering soul of Liu Ju hunt down Jiang Chong’s descendants, while the “Blood Curtain Cult” offers human sacrifices. Electricity and communications gradually fail, and unemployment spirals out of control. Meanwhile, the 108 Tomb Keepers, who were supposed to correct history, split into loyalist and rebel factions under the schemes of “Yan Mo,” the reincarnation of Zhao Gao, and the defenses holding order together collapse completely.

In 2027, the lingering souls enter the “Domain Form,” and the world descends into warfare between rival powers: the lingering soul of Zhu Yuanzhang rebuilds a “Ming District” in Beijing, while the souls of Li Yu and Zhao Kuangyin clash over Kaifeng; Qin half-liang coins and Han clothing become hard curren
