1900, Huainan. The Huang family, one of the nine sects, was destroyed. The head of the family was killed, his wife was captured, and the youngest son Huang Zhao escaped under the protection of his loyal servants. His mother left him a dark jade pendant and only left one sentence: "Don't let him enter the Nine Gates again."
Ten years later, Liucheng. Huang Zhao used the pseudonym "Huang Sheng" and lived on the streets. The piece of black jade around his neck never changed color. He thought it was just an ordinary thought left by his mother. He didn't know what the "Nine Gates" were, he didn't know who his enemy was, and he didn't even know that his grandfather was the head of the Jiang family.
Until he met Li Jiayi, a Miao girl who had escaped from marriage.
She was planted with tracking bugs, and behind her were the Jiang family's pursuers. When she saw the piece of black jade on Huang Zhao's neck, she suddenly stopped——
"My grandfather once said that there is a kind of jade that will fade from black to green when exposed to the blood of a direct descendant of the Huang family."
A drop of blood falls.
The black fades and the cyan emerges.
For the first time, Huang Zhao knew what he was carrying.
