Nail House in the Desert: from Building a Post Station to Overthrowing an Empire

Keywords: The sky is full of yellow sand, the hat covers the face, the revolver buckles the string One sentence's selling point: While others compete in martial arts, I'm just being cynical; in the world of justice, I only care about survival. Era background: From the Jiajing to Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty (1521-1620), the empire declined and the frontiers lost control. With Gansu and the west of Jiayuguan as the core, it blends the narrative temperament of the American western desert in the 19th century to create a unique "sand empire" universe. This land is officially called the "Hexi Corridor Protectorate Territory" and the world calls it the "Desert of No Return" because eight out of ten people who enter this desert never come back - they are not dead, but they are completely swallowed up by this desert and become a part of it. Core geography: With "Fenghuo Town" as the center, three ecological circles radiate outward: ▸Inner circle (within 500 miles): Guandao Station, Shangzhen Market, and areas where Jianghu sects are entrenched, relatively civilized ▸Middle circle (500-1500 miles): a lawless land, where bandits are rampant, treasure legends are found, and there are many forbidden areas ▸Outer circle (1500 miles away): No man's land, quicksand sea, ancient battlefield, the legendary "land of the end of the world"
