The Phoenix that devours fate
In the early days of the henchu dynasty, the last great empire of China, a love that was never meant to be shook the throne.
Bai Haofeng—a man of no title, no wealth, nothing but devotion—dared to love the emperor’s daughter. Against all laws, against all consequences, he took her hand and ran. But love was not enough to fight fate. They were hunted, torn apart, and branded as traitors. Yet, from that forbidden love, a child was born.
Longzhuang.
A child unlike any other. Born with one crimson eye and one jade green, he was feared from the moment he opened his eyes. The people called him cursed. A demon-born. A sign of disaster. But Bai Haofeng saw the truth—his son was meant for something far greater.
Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was something far older, far more powerful. A soul that had lived a thousand lives.
Each time he was reborn, he forgot. But his body remembered. His power could not be erased—the ability to summon storms, command fire, bend nature itself. And when his rage grew too great, when his human form could no longer hold him—his true self would awaken.
Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was a dragon.
And he saw what others could not.
The past. The present. The future.
Through eyes that were feared and hated, he glimpsed destiny before it could unfold. He saw love before it arrived. He saw betrayal before it struck. He saw death before it came. Yet, no matter how many times he watched fate weave its threads, he had never been able to cut them.
Because even a dragon could not escape fate.
The Red String had already tied him to her.
Chun Guiying—a woman the world called a courtesan. A woman owned by others. A woman he could never claim. But the moment their eyes met, the string tightened. She was bound to him, as he was bound to her.
Yet, love had never been kind to those who defied fate.
Just as his father’s love shattered an empire, Longzhuang’s love could bring ruin to everything.
Now, enemies lurk in the shadows, the past threatens to repeat, and fate has begun to tighten its grip. Will Longzhuang finally break the curse that has followed him for lifetimes? Or will history repeat once more?
