Yunheng was regarded as a child of disaster by the villagers since he was a child. Due to a mysterious disappearance, he suddenly returned with an extra dragon scale on his body that could not be peeled off. He could not explain the lost memory. He could only hear the faint whisper echoing in the blood in the dead of night. One night, the village was burned down, and Yun Heng, the only survivor, found a dying young dragon in the ruins. Its eyes reflected the same fear and desire as him. Since then, Yunheng has embarked on a journey to pursue the truth - but the bond between him and the young dragon is far more bizarre than he imagined. When the phantom of the missing person and the footsteps of the hunter approached step by step, Yunheng gradually realized that he was not the master of the dragon, but a sacrifice in some ancient ritual. Every mystery points to the erasure of childhood, and he must uncover the secrets under the dragon scales in the gap between weirdness and reality, otherwise he and the young dragon will be swallowed by nightmares.
This book uses foggy suspense, the subtle bond between people and aliens, and the deep questioning of self-identity to weave a dark journey with an unpredictable ending.
