[Male lead’s perspective]
A thousand years since the lotus left the land, even after the rain, the scent of blood still carries iron.
A thousand years ago, the Dragon Lord of the Heartless Dao was ruthless and decisive. In recent years, with peace reigning throughout the land, he had reined in his bloodlust and found a measure of tranquility.
But he had lost his dragon pearl.
It was inside a young woman.
He touched her, kissed her, and tried every means he could think of, all to get the pearl into his hands.
That was the nature of a dragon, the lust of a beast.
[Female lead’s perspective]
The pearl had been raised deep within the women’s quarters. She had no idea why she suffered from such an unspeakable affliction.
It seemed to grow worse whenever she saw her esteemed elder. Her heart would flutter, and her chest would ache and swell.
That was human nature, the desire of the heart.
They said, “Zhu’er, be good.”
Zhu’er thought that lying in his arms like this was simply her way of being good.
But, Esteemed Elder, so you too needed an excuse to cover up your loss of composure and your sins.
[Reader’s Guide]
① A weak woman and a strong man. Both leads are each other’s only partner, body and soul, while they’re together. I haven’t decided what the heroine will do after they break up, since she may turn dark later on. The hero is devoted to her alone, through three lifetimes and every life to come.
② A writing exercise, completely self-indulgent, with no outline. I write whatever comes to mind and update whenever. If it’s not your thing, feel free to leave.
Theme: Stand on your own two feet and grow strong
