Shadow of Yangling

In the ultimate power order, who dares to draw the tears of all living beings? In the last years of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, the construction of Yangling, the royal mausoleum, came to an end. This is not only the home of an emperor, but also the ultimate game between "sacred" and "secular". The conservative ministers of power strictly followed and were fanatical believers in the ritual system of the Han Dynasty. He required that the murals in the mausoleum must be solemn, solemn and obscure in order to maintain the unshakable absolute order of the imperial power. In his eyes, the world should be eternal and dead "black". However, the talented master craftsman Wei Cheng brought back the taboo "concave-convex method" from the Western Regions - a realistic magical technique that can give weight to shadows and give humanity to gods. Deep in the underground palace, he secretly drew the humble traffickers and footmen on the streets of Chang'an, and the trace of tears in the corners of the immortal's eyes that should not exist. This stroke of "cinnabar" pierced the hypocritical prosperous age carefully maintained by Yan Zun, and Wei Cheng was brutally assassinated and sealed into a crack in the underground palace wall. Three months later, Wei Cheng's disciple Su Bai was summoned back. In the bloody code left by his mentor, he gradually uncovered the shocking secrets deep in the underground palace. Faced with Yan Zun's power hunt and the "mute dead warriors" who are chasing him step by step, Su Bai must make a choice: should he destroy humanity and become a slave to power; or should he inherit the bloody brush and use that unyielding cinnabar to paint the eyes of all living beings on this endless black barrier? Polyphonic narrative, suspense aesthetics. This is a Han Dynasty epic about art, power and the truth of the soul.
