Huang Xing, a fringe reporter at the newspaper, was frustrated at work and in a crisis in love. He was stuck in a "mediocre" life at the age of thirty, until an anonymous text message broke all peace.
A gleaming blue-scaled jade and an incomplete ancient genealogy reveal family secrets that span thousands of years. He never thought that he was the legendary "living key", burdened with a blood curse passed down from generation to generation, and that the memories sleeping deep in his bloodline contained secrets that could overturn his destiny.
In a closed place shrouded in mist, strange sacrificial rituals, secretive tribesmen, and shadows approaching step by step, every step is on the edge of life and death. When "protection" and "predation" collide, and "truth" and "lie" intertwine, he is forced to struggle in the abyss of human nature: should he become a pawn manipulated by others, or should he break free from the shackles of fate?
Thousands of years of grievances, transnational conspiracies, and the game of human nature, the ultimate protection of conscience and justice officially began from the moment he held the green scale jade. Under the blood curse, no one can survive alone, and the so-called fate may have laid the foundation for its reversal thousands of years ago.
