New Year's Eve, at the Jiang family dinner table. Yu Luocen brought the dishes to the table when his father-in-law, Jiang Heting, threw down his chopsticks in front of everyone. “A useless live-in son-in-law like you thinks you deserve to sit here?” His wife, Jiang Wanqing, lowered her eyes and avoided his gaze, then pushed over the divorce papers. “Sign them. I've had enough.” The whole family burst into laughter, and his brother-in-law smashed his bowl, splashing hot soup all over him. Yu Luocen clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. He was the last heir to the guardians of the Dragon Vein, and had once led the Dragon Fang to awe all around them. He had endured three years as a live-in son-in-law because if the Dragon Vein lost the nourishment of its bloodline, all of Jiang City would split apart, bringing Heaven crashing down. But this time, he couldn't hold back. When Su Tannya, the eldest daughter of the Nangong Clan and Jiang Wanqing's best friend, was poisoned, he used his Heavenly Eye to see the gu worm at a glance. His rescue shook the great clans. Nangong Ao offered him an alliance, while the Beiming Clan set its sights on his life. Even more deadly, each use of the Heavenly Eye drained a little more of his life force. The blood feud of the previous generation, the Dragon Vein running wild, his wife's remorse, his daughter's terminal illness... He had to put an end to it all with his own hands before his life ran out. If he endured, the city would fall and its people would die. If he fought, his soul would be scattered. Yu Luocen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled. “Then let's all go to Hell together.”
