The Qin dynasty fell. Its glory and ruin alike were swallowed by the dust of ages.
What no one knew was this: when the old empire crumbled, a blood-soaked hunt had already begun — one that would run for two thousand years without end.
History records only that the court diviner Xu Fu sailed east in search of immortality. The truth was something far darker: a conspiracy stretching across millennia.
He descended into the world carrying an ancient relic, moving unseen through generation after generation, relentlessly pursuing a single bloodline — the last and most extraordinary of its kind.
For two thousand years, countless souls were sacrificed to this game. The wheel of fate turned and turned, and never once stopped.
Then came modern Hong Kong.
Qin Mo, proprietor of an antique shop on Hollywood Road, carries the purest surviving blood of the Ying-Qin imperial line.
He lives under a false name, asking nothing from the world but quiet days and distance from debts a thousand years old.
Then one storm-drenched night, a five-piece ceramic jar drags him back into the ancient tempest.
A mysterious figure known only as Mr. Li appears. Events grow murky and strange. The moment Qin Mo's fingertips brush the relic, shattered memories sealed deep within the cycle of reincarnation come roaring back to life. The Reverse Dragon Mark erupts from his palm. The imperial bloodline of the great Qin, dormant for two thousand years, is unsealed.
A sleeping conspirator opens his eyes. Assassins close in. Traps pile upon traps.
A woman appears without warning — white umbrella in hand, origins impossible to read, allegiance impossible to determine.
To protect those beside him, to break free from a fate already written, Qin Mo sets out for Lung Yan Villa at Tai Long Wan, chasing the truth his father left behind.
As the bloodline awakens, the storm breaks.
The Zhongtu Spirit Warden Bureau enters the game as watchers. Foreign powers reach across the sea. Ancient presences that have hidden for a thousand years step one by one into the light — remnant souls from a forgotten age, secret sects sealed from the world, millennium-old conspiracies colliding and converging.
Slowly, Qin Mo comes to understand: he was never an outsider who stumbled into this game by accident.
In this contest, he is both the prey — and the only one who can break it open.
For two thousand years the cycle has turned. The hunter has never aged. The hunted have changed with every generation.
This time, the last dragon-blood of Qin refuses to bow to fate's blade.
No matter that the enemy has endured since antiquity. No matter that the board was locked against him ten thousand lifetimes ago.
He will take the Reverse Dragon Mark as his seal and dragon-blood as his blade —
and cut this two-thousand-year hunt down to nothing.
