Dragon Scale, Lingxi

[Apocalyptic Powers × Forbidden Love × Prophecy of Salvation | Cool Spirit Maiden vs. Obsessive War God]

Mu Xi is the most shameful young lady of the Mu family, a “powerless” nobody.

Her father arranges her engagement to a gentle young gentleman, but she loses control and kisses her nominal stepbrother, Cheng Lin, the War God who returned from hell.

He pins her against the wall, his breath scorching. “Be my woman. Whoever dares touch you will have to step over my dead body first.”

But the sight of her mother’s bloodstained white dress is etched into her mind. In this family, a woman who falls in love with her stepbrother is burned at the stake.

Until she discovers that she isn’t truly useless after all.

Her tears fall onto an ancient book. Her eyes turn pink and blue, and a spirit lotus blooms beneath her feet.

The book foretells: “The Spirit Maiden and the child of the True Dragon are bound by fate. Offer yourself as a sacrifice, and you may bring the dawn to the apocalypse.”

Cheng Lin holds her tight, his eyes red. “Cry. I’m here.”

Meanwhile, her fiancé is waiting downstairs to take her on their “first date.”

She must choose:

To walk toward the light with him, and live a safe, ordinary life under his protection;

Or turn and embrace Cheng Lin in the shadows, risk her life to uncover the secret of her birth, and become the sharpest variable in the apocalypse,

Or perhaps, its only light.
