After Four Mad Supreme Lords Set Their Sights on Him, He Faked His Death

[Western fantasy underwater kingdom + captive love + forced romance + tangled rivalries + a feast of melodrama]

In the Seven Seas of Cangming, water reigns supreme, and the Spirit Tide Jade Marrow is a treasure coveted by every race.

Cang Nanxi, a pure Jade Marrow spirit who appears only once every thousand years, opens his eyes to find four overlords surrounding the royal palace:

One wants to claim him as his Dragon Queen, one wants to cling to him until they become one, one wants to lock him away in a pocket dimension, and one wants to trap him in a dream.

The prince promised to all four sides flips the betrothal gifts table: “If you want to marry someone, marry each other!” Then he grabs a forbidden-technique scroll and flees for the deep sea.

Cang Nanxi thinks he’s escaped, only to fall into an abyss and be fished out by the Dragon King, who locks him in the dragon palace. He’s barely bitten through the dragon-scale chains when he runs straight into a merfolk’s arms. He hides in a shipwreck, only to be dragged out by a Dark Kun, and even in his dreams, a mirage demon clings to him, calling him “husband.”

His old followers urge him to obediently offer himself as a sacrifice? He purifies an entire corrupted sea right in front of them.

But little by little, the way those who once only wanted to steal his power look at him begins to change.

The Dragon King who once bound him most tightly searches the world for ten-thousand-year-old warm jade to cover his bedroom;

The merfolk who once wept and begged to cling to him secretly slips his most precious dragon pearl beneath his pillow;

The Kun Lord who watched him for a hundred years quietly eliminates 1,327 threats against him;

The mirage demon who once dragged him into an illusion now weaves only beautiful dreams where they have each other.

After dying and reaching the end of a century-long term, Cang Nanxi’s spirit body shatters and reforms, his secret identity falls apart and gets patched back together, and he leaps into the currents with freedom on his mind.

But before he can swim even a hundred li, four presences have already wrapped tightly around him…
