Chen Mo is a commoner orphan whose village was destroyed by a dragon. He enrolls in the Imperial Magic Academy solely to steal forbidden dragon-language magic. Though he appears lazy, the dragon bloodline sleeping within him quietly awakens, and the academy immediately brands him a “world-ending calamity” and places him on its wanted list. Tensions rise between the northern dragon clans and the human empire over dragon crystal mining, while rival factions within the academy stir beneath the surface. The noble heiress Lin Xue investigates the theft of a forbidden book to prove herself, clashing with him at every turn, but in a desperate moment, she glimpses the coldness and vulnerability in his eyes. When Mentor Zhou Yuan sets off an experiment to resurrect the dragons, the seventh world-ending dragon crystal is on the verge of awakening. Chen Mo transforms into a dragon and tears through the barrier, standing at the crossroads between destruction and salvation. When Lin Xue demands an answer, will he become a calamity, or defy fate to save the world? A deadly struggle of bloodlines and betrayal begins.
