The Dragon's Allure

The imperial chancellor frames the Dragon Clan for treason, sparking a war between the royal house and the dragons so he can profit from the conflict. Deceived by him, the emperor orders the extermination of the Dragon Clan, leaving devastation and countless dead. Only a handful of clan members escape, including the Dragon Mother, the Dragon Clan's Grand Elder, and the little princess, whose dragon spirit is barely holding on. In the end, the Grand Elder is also hurled off a cliff while protecting the Dragon Mother and the princess. To stop the emperor from continuing his pursuit of the princess, the Dragon Mother seals the little princess's dragon spirit, which has only a trace of vital energy left, beneath the lake in a place called the Phantom Realm of Wangyou. She then goes alone to assassinate the emperor, but is captured. By this point, the emperor has come to his senses. He had already deeply regretted sending troops against the Dragon Clan, so he spares the Dragon Mother and uses the Dragon-Phoenix Pendant to imprison her in the Jade-Blood Cold Pool beneath the Dragon Palace. But the matter does not end there. The chancellor's conspiracy continues... The fates of Xiao Heng and Situ Mingyue are being manipulated by an unseen hand...
