Zhulong: Ice and Fire

Huian is a woman of flawless capability, having mastered archery, swordsmanship, intellect, and beauty alike. Yet for all her perfection, she lacks one crucial thing: autonomy. Bound by an arranged betrothal to the heir of the Yao family, she is forced into a union with General Yao Chenglei—a brilliant but emotionally detached military leader who has ascended to the revered title of Zhulong. On paper, they are an ideal match, but in reality, their mutual disdain makes coexistence nearly impossible. Their fractured dynamic is violently upended when Huian becomes the target of an ancient magic intent on erasing her because of her bloodline. Chenglei is inevitably pulled into the chaos, thrust alongside her into a brutal war against demonic forces. Surrounded by bloodshed and supernatural threats, Huian must unravel the hidden truths of her heritage while determining what role, if any, Chenglei will play in her future. Driven by ruthless ambition, dark entities, and a perilous attraction, the journey toward the mantle of Zhulong leaves nothing untouched by violence.
