Synopsis
In Chang'an City, under the blood moon, a blood-stained wedding dress marked the beginning of the overthrow of the dynasty. Lin Yu, a newly promoted detective, faces an unusual murder case - the sachet around the neck of the bride in red reveals the secret love of the boudoir; the jade pendant on the waist of the corpse of the man in wedding clothes points directly at the important officials in the court. When cold clues point to the deserted temple outside the city, the murmurs of the imprisoned woman in the cellar actually contain a code that can subvert Dasheng - "If the underworld does not die, the dragon's veins will collapse"! Behind the bloody case is a behemoth called the Netherworld Alliance. They weave a web of conspiracy that spans decades: arms smuggling, restoration of the previous dynasty, corpse poison massacre, human skin painting, imperial examination fraud... All the madness is just to restart the ancient world and purify the world on the day when the Dragon Vein is overturned. Lin Yu, holding a dragon scale dagger that can draw thunder from the sky, carries the emperor's secret order, and gathers his life and death partners: Li Waner, a daughter of the witch clan whose life experience is a mystery, her blood is the only key to unlocking the dragon's veins, and is also the last weapon to destroy the Netherworld Alliance; Su Jiuniang, a widower who is proficient in tricks and poisons, uses her life to decipher the "Atlas of Nightmare Town" and faces the hatred of genocide; Tuoba Yue, the iron-blooded female general guarding the border, held the flag with one arm and defended the city gate with her flesh and blood, burning out the last drop of blood. From the bloody ghost bride in Chang'an, to the withered bones in the deep palace where nursery rhymes seek death; from the corpse soldiers crawling out of the desert outside the Great Wall, to the wealthy businessmen whose faces were stripped to make lamps on rainy nights in the south of the Yangtze River; to the depths of the Kunlun Dragon Vein, the semi-mechanical monster that combines elixirs and ancient mechanisms and calls itself the "god of purification" - Youquan. What they faced was the ferocious formation of four elephants that could displace the stars and cause the mountains and rivers to collapse. It was the poisonous mist of the solar eclipse that swallowed up the entire city during the solar eclipse. Sacrifice is the only bargaining chip. Wan'er used witch blood to purify the sky, Jiuniang used the Tongxin Gu to defy the sky and take her life, Tuoba Yue used the isolated city to bury her bones... When Lin Yu's dragon scale dagger penetrated the mechanical core of Youquan, did they die together? Or is it the glimmer of civilization's survival? When the sandstorm breaks out again in Loulan, the one-eyed swordsman holds the Nether Token, and the shadow of the Pisces Jade Pendant emerges from the yellow sand... Is this disaster really over? Concept: "Dragon Scale" is an epic that uses a thrilling suspense adventure as its shell and deeply explores the value of human nature and the survival of civilization. It tells the story of a group of "mortals" who, in the face of a huge conspiracy to overthrow a dynasty and a crisis of annihilation, used their flesh and blood, unyielding will and tragic sacrifice to issue a declaration to the dark gods who pursue "absolute purification": Even if the world is riddled with holes, the glimmer of humanity and imperfect civilization are still worth protecting with life, and this protection will never stop.
