A power couple bound by a deal | Fated tension | Older, powerful pursuer × stoic, beautiful dragon-clan receiver
The Ningcheng King stormed the palace of Xiling. A boy opened his palm. “I want to make a deal with you.”
One dragon scale in exchange for ten years of the Ningcheng King’s protection.
Ten years among mortals, during the prosperous age of Dayun.
The Ningcheng King shielded him from every storm and concealed every threat, letting him spend ten carefree years as an ordinary boy, free from prying eyes.
The ten years were almost over. The contract was about to expire.
The deal should have ended there, with both parties even and going their separate ways.
But after ten years together, bound to each other day and night, this had long since become more than a mere exchange of favors.
The ruthless king had already fallen in love, and the aloof young dragon had already given his heart.
As the dragon’s blood, sealed away for ages, stood on the verge of awakening, and his hidden identity came to light step by step,
how would this ten-year bond, born of a deal, trapped by fate, and drowned in deep devotion, end?
