Mud Dragon
In the fourth year of the Zhizheng era, drought and locusts ravaged the land, and human lives were worth less than grass.
Chen Jiu is an ordinary man, not a hero or a great champion, just someone who wants to stay alive. Half a bran cake, an iron nail, a slap in the face: every one is etched into his bones.
In this world, you can live on your knees, but stand up and you die. And yet, some people stood up.
From Bozhou to Yanmen, from slave status to the battlefield, a band of people who clawed their way out of the mud are driven by fate, forced to choose, forced to survive. Some defend the passes, some keep the books, some rebel, and some betray. Every choice comes at a price, and every path is paved with blood.
No destiny, no miraculous comeback, only people who fought their way out of the mud.
This is what Mud Dragon is.
Never kneel, never cry, never accept your fate.
