Red Moon Appeared (从红月开始) – C-drama’s director, cast, plot synopsis, and production details

The moon turns red without warning, casting an eerie glow over a world plunged into chaos. Some lose consciousness and transform into monsters, while others awaken extraordinary abilities. As bizarre and unpredictable disasters unfold, humanity struggles to rebuild civilization amidst the ruins. Factions rise in the form of Qinggang, a walled city-state; maritime nations; and the lawless wilderness.

Lu Xin (played by Kevin Guo), an ordinary office worker living in Qinggang, is unexpectedly caught up in a strange contamination incident. On the brink of death, he suddenly awakens a superpower, crushing monsters with ease and reversing life and death in an instant. Recruited by the Special Clearance Department, a unit dedicated to handling supernatural threats, Lu Xin is far from ordinary. By his side are three “family members” invisible to others: a sister (Li Lin Xi) who loves tearing things apart, an elegant yet formidable mother (Chen Shu), and a hot-tempered father (Tan Kai). Lu Xin can tap into their supernatural abilities at will.

Thus begins his adrenaline-fueled adventure—chasing knightly orders across the eerie wilderness, battling dangerous creatures in forbidden death zones, and forging mysterious alliances in Happy Town. Along the way, a high-powered supernatural team assembles: Gecko (Chang Hua Sen), a seemingly carefree but fiercely loyal companion; Han Bing (Li Yu Zhen), a warm-hearted dedicated online assistant; Chen Jing (Jiang Pei Yao), a steadfast mentor who never wavers in her trust; and Doll (He Shi Yu), an autistic girl known as Qinggang’s ultimate weapon.

As Lu Xin undertakes one mission after another, he slowly uncovers a missing fragment of his memory—one that may hold the key to the catastrophe plaguing the world. Shrouded in mystery, driven by his obsession with his own origins, Lu Xin sets out on a quest for the truth.
