During the Fengle period, an unknown evil epidemic raged
"Song Wuji", in order to relieve his childhood heartache, rushed to the source of the epidemic - "Linzhao" alone. On the way, "helping hands" came one after another: "a poisonous lady who talks sweetly and has a sword, a duplicitous imperial physician's assistant, a liar Taoist priest with a bright tongue, and a young man whose identity is a mystery." The five people traveled together, each with their own agenda, but together they were involved in a shocking conspiracy to overthrow the dynasty.
"Betrayal is the norm, calculation is instinct. "However, between the fatal deception and the struggle for survival, false feelings are tempered into burning true feelings. A scrap of prescription, a blood jade, half a nursery rhyme... Tiny things tear apart lies, and the truth revealed is far more terrifying than the plague.
The dead end road to Linzhao is also the road to purgatory and redemption. Can the five people tear through the darkness? The end point has long surpassed the source of the epidemic itself
Concept: In a dark world created by distorted ideals (religion creates plagues and humanoid disasters), the "instrumentalized" souls (Song Wuji, Ye Shangsang, Wu Yue, etc.) Rise up to resist the imposed fate. In the end, it was discovered that true "purification" and redemption begin with the respect and protection of individual life, and end in resistance with affection as the blade and in the name of love. On the ruins of fate, the glimmer of humanity and the courage to protect each other built the final fortress and the way home.
