Kind-hearted Zhou Mian became an orphan the moment he was born. Fortunately, when he was still a foal, a loss of control over his magic caught Princess Cadance's attention. She took him back to the castle and entrusted him to her aunt, Princess Celestia.
(Discord: And that's how the “Demon Child” came to be.)
Many years later, as wars raged across the world, Zhou Mian was about to cast a spell to reset the world when a group of familiar ponies suddenly appeared and embraced him. When he opened his eyes again, he realized it had all been a dream.
“Phew, so it was just a dream. I knew it. With my powerful magical talent, how could there possibly be a villain I can't defeat?”
“Wait, why would there even be villains in this world? Aren't they all just speed bumps?”
“If you have a problem, take it up with my friendship nuke.”
“Hold on, why am I saying this stuff? This has to be Discord's doing!”
Discord suddenly appeared beside Zhou Mian, holding a yellowed history book he had found somewhere. “Hey, I just found this unofficial history book. It says Zhou Mian once bore a child for Yueqi.”
“Where did you get that made-up history book? And wait! Isn't Yueqi just another version of me?!”
(The plot has been heavily revised, so read with caution if that bothers you. Many original elements have been added, and the original villains have all been made stronger.)
Personally, I highly recommend it. No matter what other people think of this novel, I really like reading it anyway, and it is one of the few Pony novels I have read that suits my taste. The author is a bit slow in updating it, but after all, it is about Pony. There is no requirement for the author to update or anything, as long as he keeps updating, thank you for the author!!!
