The pacing is unhurried at first. There is love, sacrifice, and cause and effect! Volume Two will feature a substitute romance! The heroine will fall into demonic ways later on. She wavers between the male lead and the second male lead, who is a nine-tailed fox. A small spoiler: the right person at the wrong time.
There are no brainless villains in this book. If there’s a grudge, it gets settled on the spot!
The heroine trains with all her might to become a dragon, simply because she wants to control her own fate!
But she doesn’t know that everything is already predestined!
The heroine gets a little messy in the middle and later parts of the story. She is not a perfect character!
One woman, multiple men.
Excerpt:
“Xiuchen! Let me go! This is my tribulation. You shouldn’t have to bear it!” I struggled desperately, my voice breaking with tears.
Xiuchen gave a soft laugh. His voice was so faint I could barely hear him. “Zili, your tribulation… is my tribulation too. From beginning to end, I never intended to let you face it alone…”
I shook my head frantically, my dragon tail sweeping across the cliff and sending rocks flying everywhere. “I don’t believe it! What do you mean, the Great Way is heartless? What do you mean, the tribulation has passed? If the price of becoming a dragon is his life, I’d rather be a fish forever!”
“Let go… Mmph!” I realized something was wrong and immediately tried with all my strength to push him away, planting my palm against his chest to resist…
I looked up at him, my eyes shimmering with tears and seeming to hold endless tenderness~
“Zili~ Pretend I’m him! Please…”
My mind had gone completely blank in the face of such a humble plea!
For a moment, I lost myself…
In an instant, his lips came down on mine. I held my breath! My heart raced…
Some primal urge inside me seemed to make it impossible to resist.
My body suddenly went limp, and I fell toward the grass…
