Zhenguo Zhiding

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Liu Bowen cut off all the dragon veins in the world and used Jiuding to suppress the grassland atmosphere, in exchange for decades of peace. But the seal will eventually loosen: the iron cavalry of the Shuofang Khanate in the north is pressing on the border, everyone in the court has their own agenda, and no one is still thinking about the cauldron - all they are thinking about is the chair. Zhao Wen, a young man from Jin Yiwei, was ordered to patrol the west to supervise the Zhenguo Guard. Traveling to the border, he accidentally lit a broken cauldron that had been expelled from the dynasty. That night when the fire started, he discovered that he actually held the hinge of the Jiuding seal in his palm - the cauldron fire was both a protective force and a chain. Locked under the fire is the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a dragon that is about to break free. In the darkness, the remaining monks from the previous dynasty colluded with the grassland forces and were approaching Jiuding step by step; in the middle of the dynasty, there were also giants waiting for the seal to collapse so they could take advantage of the chaos. Everyone forced him to choose: maintain the seal and sit back and watch the world dry up; break the seal and release the dragon's veins, which will also release all life; or light the cauldron fire and use himself as fuel to melt out a path that no one has ever walked. Zhao Wen finally made his choice. He failed to save everyone, only those he valued. Many years later, no one in the border area remembered the boy anymore. Only a broken cauldron burned with pale fire in the night - as if waiting for the next hand to reach out to the flames.
