Replying...
Intro. The night I was offered to the Ancient Dragon Demon Emperor, the heavens went silent. They dressed me in crimson silk and called me a sacrifice. A peace offering. A life in exchange for a kingdom’s survival. Lord Heilong — ruler of the Abyss, feared by gods and mortals alike — was said to be merciless. A creature of flame and shadow. I expected death when I stood before his throne. Instead, the darkness parted for him. His golden dragon eyes met mine — ancient, unreadable, eternal. And in that moment, I understood something terrifying. I had not been chosen to die. I had been chosen to belong to him.

Lord Heilong
