Ruan Xiyan, an ancient book restorer, accidentally awakened Xia Heng, a dragon clan who had been sleeping for seven hundred years, while restoring a book called "Strange Stories of Mountains and Seas" written with ambergris ink. The half-dragon-shaped jade pendant closely connects the fate of the two of them - he is the dragon trapped in the shoal, and his spiritual power is sealed due to the blood curse of the ancestors of the Ruan family; she is the successor of the Ruan family's bloodline, and the dragon mark in the palm of her hand contains the key to unlocking the seal.
Seven hundred years ago, Ruan Qingci used his soul as a sacrifice to strengthen the seal, leaving behind the mystery of "the jade couple's interpretation of the contract"; seven hundred years later, demon hunters followed, hoping to seize Xia Heng's inner elixir and open the passage to the demon world. When the ambergris ink revealed the complete totem in the moonlight, and when the aurora at Yunqi Mountain reflected the shadow of the giant dragon, Ruan Xiyan realized that her grandfather's dying warning was not false: the contracts between the women of the Ruan family and the dragon clan have always been made with the heart as the betrothal and the blood as the witness.
The bamboo slips in the library record the truth: to lift the seal, you need to use Ni Lin as a guide and the blood of your heart as a sacrifice. Ruan Qingci's "betrayal" back then was nothing more than exchanging maternal love for protection across time and space. The demon hunter's boundary-breaking magic weapon roared outside the cave. Xia Heng's golden dragon scales reflected her eyes, and she whispered the vow of "live and die together."
Is it to continue the sacrifice of our ancestors, or to rewrite the fateful contract? When the ambergris entwined with the fragrance of ink spread over the fingertips, Ruan Xiyan looked at the dragon pattern that overlapped with his in the palm of his hand, and finally understood: the so-called jade fusion was never the key to the contract, but the reason why seven hundred years of waiting could finally be exchanged for "I will accompany you."
