The legendary Dragon Gate Inn has galloped back to screens with a fresh spin in CMG’s latest revival. This time, audiences are in for a treat as well-known host Miao Lin steps into the role of the innkeeper—only he’s no friendly face but a sinister mastermind who weaves traps in every shadow.
Set against the windswept dunes and shadowy corridors, the series kicks off with a lost painting that holds secrets older than the inn’s ancient beams. Andata, a determined seeker, refuses to let this masterpiece slip through his fingers again. When word spreads that a hefty bounty awaits anyone who can help recover it, adventurers from every corner rally for a chance at glory.
Under the cover of night, the ragtag group presses on, forging through hidden trails. Among them is Chen Xi, a clever newcomer with a knack for reading people. He earns the trust of the wary Shen Huan by stepping in during a tense standoff—an act that cements their uneasy alliance and sets the stage for twists to come.
But as they edge closer to the Shahe region, the threat of nature emerges in the form of sandstorms. Locals warn that the rolling dust will soon swallow every landmark. It’s here, amid the swirling grit and fierce winds, that Chen Xi hatches a daring plan—one that could turn the bounty hunt on its head and put the innkeeper himself in the crosshairs.
Blending classic wuxia motifs with modern storytelling flair, CMG’s Dragon Gate Inn revival delivers pulse-pounding action and mysterious intrigue. Whether you’re a longtime martial arts fan or a newcomer drawn by Miao Lin’s unexpected villainy, this series invites you on a journey where every corridor hides a clue—and every character carries a secret.
Stay tuned as the saga unfolds, and join the global conversation. Who will claim the painting? And will the innkeeper’s true motives be revealed before the desert swallows them all?
