Lu Chen is reborn and returns to the past. In his previous life, he was framed by Qin Zhao and Steward Bai Lin, branded as someone with a worthless spirit root, and stripped of the Ancestral Dragon Bone, a protective bone left behind by his mother. He ultimately died a tragic death in the alchemy chamber. In this life, the Dragon Bone awakens, granting him the ability to see hidden formation patterns and traces of tampering throughout the world. At the Cold Pool Grand Ceremony, he publicly exposes the altered life token and spirit-root formation, revealing the Dragon Vein Spirit Root that had been concealed. As everyone covets his Dragon Bone and the opportunities hidden within secret realms, Lu Chen proceeds cautiously, dismantling the many conspiracies of the Qin household and the elders, uncovering the old injustice surrounding his mother's case, and embarking on a path of trials and a triumphant comeback.
