Scales Gone

Six hundred years ago, the true dragon turned into a human body, ended the troubled times, and established the Taiwei Celestial Dynasty. Six hundred years later, the dragon's blood exhausted and the emperor's heirs withered. On the night when the last prince was born, there was never any crying in the maternity hall. However, the nine dragon bells rang through the capital, and the emperor issued an edict to the world—— The prince is born, mother and child are safe. In order to maintain this lie, the local government began to collect grain, northern Xinjiang began to mobilize troops, the ancestral temple began to prepare for the ceremony, and a new dragon descendant was found in the dusty genealogy. But while everyone was waiting for the emperor to make a ruling, the disease took away the voice of the absolute monarch. From then on, the queen guarded Longtong, the prince looked for an heir, the princess carried the real edict, the civil servants maintained the shaky court, the generals began to judge which imperial orders were worth obeying, and the local officials let the dead remain on the grain rolls to pay taxes. They all said they were loyal to the emperor. What they are loyal to is no longer the same emperor. The dragon created this dynasty. Now, when the last scales fall off, mortals will decide for the first time—— Does this world still need a dragon?
