Jiaolong! The Morning Star of the Deep Blue

[Ice-cold business emperor × genius tech madman, evenly matched rivals who save each other]

Gu Yunshen, the ruthless emperor of a shipping empire, locks away a taboo memory of the sea in his heart.

Once a dragon of the deep, he imprisoned himself on land after his closest friend sacrificed himself. He believes in rules and capital, and his methods are ruthless, until he meets Lu Qiming, a “tech madman” who treats rules as meaningless and does whatever he pleases.

Lu Qiming is a brilliant rising star in the field of marine technology, fueled by a fierce desire to clear his father’s name.

Bold and unrestrained, he uses code and blueprints to challenge the authority of the entire industry. He sees Gu Yunshen as a rigid relic of the past, an obstacle standing in the way of his technological ideals.

At their first clash, Gu Yunshen sneered, “Engineer Lu’s technology is like a child’s game.”

Lu Qiming shot back, “Mr. Gu’s horizons are so narrow, you can only see the sea in a ledger.”

They are bitter rivals who spark at the slightest touch, yet a contract worth hundreds of millions for an “intelligent mega-ship” binds them together.

But when business conspiracies raise towering waves, and extreme weather pushes fate to the brink of life and death...

Amid freezing seawater and a ship out of control, they stand back to back, becoming each other’s only support.

Gu Yunshen discovers the trauma and tenderness hidden beneath his icy facade, buried there for ten years.

Lu Qiming glimpses the innate determination and loneliness beneath his carefree exterior.

From enemies bent on destroying each other, to partners sharing life and death, and finally to soulmates no one else could ever replace.

This is a clash of the finest intellects and strongest wills, as well as a story of mutual testing and bringing light to each other’s lives.
