【One-on-one romance + devoted pursuit after a breakup + fated love and hate】
Gong: Ling Yue (two souls in one body, the origin of the twin dragons)
Black Dragon soul: destruction. White Dragon soul: creation [They’re actually one person.]
Shou: Chen Ziqi (a monster in human skin, without the capacity to love)
After five hundred years as a wandering ghost, Chen Ziqi finally gets the chance to be reborn as a human. He thinks he has forgotten his past, but nightmares still haunt him. In them, the world-ending demon Black Dragon Ling Yue, whom he sealed with his own hands, leaves a mark upon his soul with a blood-red kiss in the netherworld, scorching and devouring him to the bone.
After getting lost, he finds a pitch-black dragon egg in a mysterious cave.
The shell is cold, yet from within comes a familiar heartbeat that makes his soul tremble. As if possessed, he takes the egg home.
The day the dragon egg hatches, the heavens and earth change color.
A tiny dragon, black from head to tail with dazzling golden eyes, affectionately rubs against his palm and says in a babyish voice, “Mama… Papa?”
Chen Ziqi: “???”
At the same time, the seal on the abyss shatters with a crash! Black Dragon Ling Yue tears through the void and descends, his demonic power overwhelming.
His blood-red eyes lock onto Chen Ziqi, murder in his gaze. “Taowu, I’ll settle the score for your murder of me in our past life today!”
Before he can finish, the little dragon suddenly leaps at Ling Yue and calls out in a clear, childish voice, “Papa!”
Ling Yue’s killing move halts mid-strike, his pupils trembling in shock.
Chen Ziqi is dumbfounded: The egg I found… is my enemy’s child?!
As they are forced to travel together and raise the dragon, the truth behind the betrayal five hundred years ago, the shocking conspiracy behind the Primordial God’s fall, and the dragon egg’s origins gradually come to light amid repeated brushes with death.
