The White Snake’s Scales of Fate

White Snake: The Tribulation of the Reverse Scales: When the Mythical Aura Fades, Only Bare Human Nature Remains

White Snake: The Tribulation of the Reverse Scales is a literary attempt to pierce the surface of myth and reach the depths of human nature. It is no longer content to tell a romantic tale of a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, nor does it cling to a world where good and evil are black and white. Instead, it turns its gaze toward a vaster and more brutal expanse of time and space: from the primeval mists of Yunmeng Marsh, to the iron-blooded Great Wall of the Qin Empire, then to the misty, broken bridge over West Lake in the Southern Song, and finally to the steel-and-concrete jungle of the modern city. With the "reverse scales" at its heart and "tribulation" as its backbone, this work rewrites a vast web of fate spanning ten thousand years.
