Dreams Begin in Peace

Ping'an County, Pingzhou Prefecture, looks peaceful, but under the surface, currents are running deep.

This is a corner of the southeastern Canglan Continent, and the place where Wei Chen's nightmare began.

As the orphaned son of Wang Qingluan, eldest legitimate daughter of the top Wang family of Zhongzhou, Wei Chen should have been born to greatness. But his mother fell in love with a taboo man from the "Forgotten Land," and he was cast down into the mortal world. His mother died young, his family turned their backs on him, and he suffered from a "chronic illness." He was bullied by his collateral relatives and treated like trash.

Everyone called him a "stain," a wretch with bloodlust in his veins.

His family saw him as a "burden" and planned to exterminate him on the day he came of age.

But on a stormy night, when the Wang family of Zhongzhou arrived in force, intent on erasing every trace of his mother's existence,

the boy who had endured in silence and played the fool finally kindled a fire in his eyes that would engulf the world.

"They say my mother chose the wrong path. I say they have no right to judge her path."

"They say my bloodline is filthy. Then I'll use that filthy bloodline to paint the skies of Canglan red!"
