The Pretty Little Saint Offered to the Demon Dragon

[A recommendation: the completed novel The Empire’s Beloved Phoenix Chick~] The abyss is home to the savage, bloodthirsty dragon Caius. It awakens once every ten years to lay waste to the land, leaving nothing alive in its wake. Its furious, grief-stricken roar can be deciphered as just one sentence: “Give me back my treasure.” People offer gold, silver, pearls, and jade, and sacrifice beautiful holy sons, but nothing can appease the dragon’s wrath. No one knows what the treasure is. Chu Wei, the second young master of the distinguished Chu family, has a refined, indifferent face, with an icy, aloof look in his eyes. He is renowned far and wide for his beauty. But he knows all too well that he is an abandoned infant adopted to serve as a genetic match for the Chu family’s true heir, ready to be sacrificed in his place at any moment. When Chu Wei was eight, the Chu family’s eldest son was chosen as the holy son. His adoptive parents knelt and pleaded, their eyes red from weeping. The little boy lowered his head, his face pale, and said nothing. Dressed in the holy son’s white robes, Chu Wei was raised by the Church. From then on, he was forbidden to cut his hair or speak freely with others; both his body and soul had to belong to the dragon. Yet nothing could stop him from drawing others to him with a fatal allure The powerful, enigmatic high priest of the temple gathered his bare feet in his arms; The loyal, taciturn captain of the temple knights knelt beside a moonlit lake and swore an oath to him; The passionate heir to the royal family proposed to him amid a garden fragrant with blue blossoms. As the believers’ fervent declarations of love washed over him, the young holy son grew more and more bewildered. In the dreams that kept flashing through his mind, who did those golden eyes belong to, gazing at him so obsessively? - Ten years later, the adult holy son, clad in snowy white robes with long black hair trailing on the ground, walked alone into the boundless blizzard under everyone’s gaze, never once looking back. In the abyss, the enormous red-gold dragon pupils stared unblinkingly at the pretty little prey who had walked right into its trap. Knowing he was about to die, Chu Wei closed his eyes. His trembling lashes could not conceal his youthful unease. The dragon’s tail, tipped with deadly poison, lashed toward him Then the thick tail folded away its barbs and gently curled around his waist, as if cuddling up to him. “You finally came back.” A deep, pleasant voice sounded by his ear. “I was wrong. Will you please stop being angry with me?” The tail disappeared, and someone embraced him from behind instead, rubbing their chin against the hollow of his neck. “If you run away from home for another thousand years, I really will get angry... sweetheart.” Chu Wei: ? Did he come to the wrong place? - Caius was an experimental subject created for interstellar war. From the moment he became conscious, he was imprisoned in a secret Federation base with no sunlight, where he endured inhuman torture day after day. The only light in his life was the researcher who always gently stroked his horns and softly soothed him. But that light was extinguished in an accident caused by human hands. Caius waited in confusion as he destroyed everything, and searched in terror as he overturned the world, but he still could not find Chu Wei. Until, a thousand years later, his treasure finally returned to the palm of his hand. “, You are the brightest moon goddess amid a sea of crimson flowers.
