*A seemingly gentle and kind young general who actually loves tricking people x the Dragon Lord, who seems to want to retire but is in fact deeply responsible
To the people of Shangji, the Dragon Lord is their ruler, the guardian deity of their nation, and a being they revere as divine.
Yu Fengzhen grew up listening to tales of the Dragon Lord and had always looked up to him.
Only after he was fortunate enough to meet the Dragon Lord in person did he discover that this legendary figure, supposedly all-powerful and revered by everyone, was somewhat different from the stories.
He seeks neither fame nor fortune. He can't be bothered with rare treasures or the boundless praise heaped upon him. His greatest wish in life is simply to sleep until the end of time.
Even when he finally shows himself to help the people through a crisis, he piles one secret identity on top of another, terrified that anyone might recognize him.
Yu Fengzhen once asked him curiously, "Why don't you appear in your true form? The people would surely be delighted to see you."
The Dragon Lord was resting with his eyes closed. He answered calmly, "The land is at peace, the government is stable, and the people live in harmony. The era that needed a Dragon Lord has come to an end."
Yu Fengzhen flattered him. "How could that be? Even though you haven't appeared before the people in a long time, you remain our steadfast faith."
The Dragon Lord opened his eyes. "I mean that I've guarded you all for several hundred years. It's time I retired."
[Reading guide]
1. An imaginary world. Some mythical beasts are inspired by the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but most are original creations.
2. Plot-driven, but the author loves writing romance and will do their best to work plenty of it into the plot.
[Important!!!] 3. The main characters' romance has a sad ending, but everyone gets the ending they want in the story as a whole (at least, that's what the author thinks).
Theme: World peace
