As the only "Child of the Origin" in twelve thousand years, he was meant to live for heaven and earth, and in doing so, lost himself.
Then he met her. Fate brought him to teach her; responsibility led him to save her; destiny made him love her; and helplessness made him hurt her. But he never let himself forget her.
Because he knew that forgetting was true death.
As the only daughter of the Dragon King of the South Sea, she was supposed to bear the responsibility of nourishing all things with her tears. But she was born without tears, an outsider among her kind.
Unable to cry, she was lacking in the seven emotions and knew little about love. With her second elder brother's help, she learned of a way to find tears and cure her affliction. So she disguised herself as a man and left the Dragon Palace, which she had never stepped outside in twelve thousand years.
Neither of them ever imagined that their fated encounter would bind them together for lifetime after lifetime.
There was love between them, and hatred, promises, deception, and the shackles of destiny that neither could escape.
Though love and life and death are beyond our control, whether our love burns brightly or remains quiet is ours to choose.
"I once promised someone that no matter how many lifetimes it took, I would find her. I think I've found her."
"Then the person you're searching for must be very important to you."
"More than important. She is all the joy of every one of my lifetimes."
Theme: How to defy destiny and protect love with trust, courage, and sacrifice.
