Where the flames of war begin, humans and monsters take different paths; in the twin tribulations, fate cannot be escaped.
This is a story about family, country, power and destiny. The borders of Kyoto are tight and humanity is respected. However, outside the borders, monsters are dormant and undercurrents are surging. Liu Yi, the general of Zhenbei, holds a heavy army and guards the northern border with iron and blood. He has a stern face and great military achievements, but he has an almost paranoid guardianship of Yuan Jingchi, an anonymous orphan from the former dynasty.
Twelve-year-old Yuan Jingchi is frail and sickly, but extremely resourceful. His life experience is a mystery, and there is a demon pupil hidden deep in his right eye that can subvert the world. As the boundaries of Kyoto gradually cracked, the truth about the previous dynasty's collapse was revealed layer by layer. The constant blood connection between Yuan Jingchi and the demon clan pushed him to the forefront. The mysterious dragon scale birthmark on Liu Yi's body, as well as the "soul-suppressing halberd", an ancient magic weapon used to suppress evil spirits in the general's mansion, seem to point to an ancient secret that has been deliberately buried.
When humanity's pursuit order comes, when the demon king's ambition breaks ground, and when the fates of twins are intertwined in the smoke, they must find a way out in the whirlpool of intrigue and the gap between the two races. Should we cut off the bonds, or go through the disaster together?
With a grand worldview as the curtain and delicate emotions as the blade, it tells an epic about protection, betrayal and redemption in the war of troubled times. When dragon scales and demon eyes shine together in the darkness, this bond that spans race and identity will eventually burn away all illusions and usher in their own dawn.
Purpose: In the turbulent times of racial antagonism and power intrigue, explore the ultimate protection that transcends prejudice and fate, as well as the tragic struggle of individuals against their own destiny.
