In Quanzhou Port in the third year of Yonghui's reign, Persian merchant ships carried not only exotic spices, but also life-threatening plague rats wrapped in gold silk satin. When Shen Jinghong, a 19-year-old female pharmacy officer, cut open the abdominal cavity of a drowned female worker, three rat cubs that did not open their eyes were gnawing at her. Alan Huo, a noble of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, used the splatter of black blood in the crematorium as a war dance and organized the dying strong men infected with the epidemic into the "Rat Slaughter Army". He never expected that the poison-tested ancestral blood amber knife would be pressed against the throat of his enemy's daughter. The snake-bited copper bracelet on Shen Jinghong's wrist could detect the tremors of the plague core beneath his body. From Jinjiang dyehouses to Persian merchant ships, it was not just the medical records that were rewritten by the plague. They were not the only ones who were devastated by the rats in Quanzhou.
