The dragon clan is hot-tempered and promiscuous, while the phoenix clan is gentle and faithful. When the two clans marry, the one with greater power is always the dominant partner, while the weaker one bears their offspring.
Xuan Cang is the dragon clan’s little tyrant, second only to Heaven itself. Just as he comes of age, he’s informed that he’s the one being sent to marry this time.
His match is the phoenix clan’s crown prince, a famed God of War. Xuan Cang thinks... he might not be able to beat him.
Watching his eldest brother surrounded by three thousand beauties in his harem and his second brother with a lover in each arm, Xuan Cang breaks down at the thought of having to remain chaste for a phoenix, live and die with him, and bear dragon and phoenix children himself.
The phoenix clan hates the unchaste above all else. If he has a few fleeting affairs before the wedding, they’re bound to call off the marriage.
With that in mind, Xuan Cang escapes from the dragon clan to the human world. He falls in love at first sight with a mortal and wishes he could offer him his heart.
Unfortunately, the mortal’s frail human body proves too delicate. They’ve barely made love once when the other man falls off a cliff and dies...
Xuan Cang has just made arrangements for the body of his fleeting lover when word arrives from the dragon clan: the phoenix clan has called off the marriage.
Xuan Cang is overjoyed: ...My plan worked.
Xuan Cang returns to the Dragon Palace to heal his broken heart and continue being the little tyrant. But before his heart can mend, something goes wrong with his dragon body. His stomach hurts unbearably, and he throws up everything he eats.
The dragon doctor diagnoses him: pregnant.
Xuan Cang: ???
Under a vast, misty sky, Xuan Cang stares blankly as a god descends from the heavens. A long whip comes straight at his face. Eyes blazing with anger, the god says, “I knew you were useless, but I never thought you’d be this useless. I suppressed most of my cultivation and still couldn’t beat you.”
Xuan Cang: This man in gold robes and a jade crown, as cold as ice, looks an awful lot like his fleeting lover...
Wu Jin is the phoenix clan’s God of War. The phoenix oracle has revealed the identity of his child’s other parent: a useless descendant of the dragon clan, a little good-for-nothing. He’s unhappy about it, but understands that the greater good comes first.
At a glance in the human world, he sees through the identity of the injured little snake. It’s none other than that little good-for-nothing from the dragon clan.
This marriage is only about producing a dragon-phoenix child for the phoenix clan. If a fleeting affair can get him out of the marriage, Wu Jin is happy to play along.
When they share a bed, Wu Jin takes a pill to suppress his cultivation. Once it’s done, he fakes his death and returns to the phoenix clan, waiting to become pregnant.
After waiting and waiting, he hears that the little good-for-nothing from the dragon clan is pregnant.
Wu Jin: ...
The phoenix clan: We’re doomed. How about we storm the Dragon Palace when the little good-for-nothing gives birth, kill the father, and take the child?
