After transmigrating into the lowest-ranking Oceanid laborer at the Palais Mermonia in Fontaine, Lin Ce originally just wanted to keep his head down, slack off, and wait to die.
Until one day, the Hydro Archon Furina kicked open the door to the storeroom and slapped a divine-law mecha medical report in his face.
"I'm pregnant. It's an ancient dragon-blooded child... Lin Ce, you're taking responsibility!"
Lin Ce, who had no physical body and was transparent from head to toe, was stunned. What am I supposed to get you pregnant with, a mop?
The next second, the [Dragon-Blood Resonance: Bloodline Infusion System] forcibly bound itself to him!
As long as he takes part in parenting activities like feeding, soothing, and telling bedtime stories, he can unlock primordial dragon authority, rise in status through his child, and awaken against all odds!
After his first attempt at soothing the child, his control over water surges. He recreates a flesh-and-blood body, and a beam of golden light pierces the ceiling of the Palais Mermonia!
In the courtroom, the ancient dragon resonance stone explodes on the spot. Neuvillette, the Chief Justice, kneels on one knee before him and hails him as the new ruler of the dragon race!
Navia, head of Spina di Rosula, rushes in with an eighty-million-coin dowry and demands to marry him. "She can be the first wife. I don't mind being the second!"
Clorinde, the Champion Duelist, draws her sword and stays by his side to protect him. Beneath her cold exterior, she's a dragon-baby-obsessed fanatic, a surprisingly adorable contrast!
As his bloodline gradually awakens, the Fatui Harbingers launch an all-out assassination attempt, while an emissary of the Heavenly Principles descends with cold intent, seeking to erase an existence beyond the established order.
On the surface, Lin Ce is a laid-back, doting dad. He puts an arm around his proud and prickly wife and shields the hungry dragon baby in his arms, his gaze brimming with the dragon's apocalyptic might:
"You want to touch my wife and child? Have you even heard of Teyvat's oldest rule?"
