The Qilin Lurks in the Deep

Everyone under heaven possesses their own fortune, each with its unique manifestation.

Commoners are white, true dragons are black. A twelve-color dial lets you read a person's fate by its hue.

With Great Xia unified, the emperor's Ninefold Golden Dragon fortune is waning, while hidden dragons rise on all sides. By imperial decree, the Directorate of Celestial Observation is tasked with severing the dragons' fortunes.

Liu Xingwu, an orphan with white fortune, was found in the wilderness by a country bumpkin and raised as his own.

He was nothing but an unknown peasant, until a conspiracy to seize fortune opened his eyes to the cracks in people's destinies.

He can see who is about to die and whose fortune is about to collapse.

But seeing the future doesn't mean he can change it.

In this world ruled by cold weapons,

a powerless boy who can see what is coming rises from a peasant with white fortune to vie for supremacy.

Yet just as he is about to claim the throne, he suddenly realizes...

The world he is fighting for may not be the one he thought it was.
