A long time ago, it was said that at the summit of the great Mount Feng Ya, there was an immortal deity who resided within the depths of a cave. A Dragon Lord, he was, an almighty being who had lived for thousands of years. Having witnessed countless rises and falls of humanity, travelling through a long passage of time, he had gathered a mountain of treasures and knowledge that no mortal could ever dream of obtaining.
He was a whimsical person, this dragon. In the long life he had lived, he had come across and mingled with many beauties from many eras, from the most bustling of cities, to the most untamed of wilderness. He was free and unrestrained; no matter what, there was none that could capture his heart.
That is, until he stumbled upon a mysterious lake hidden in the deepest part of a forest brimming with pure spiritual energy. Here, he encountered a graceful, yet stubborn Lake Spirit, the most beautiful person he had seen in his life who stole his heart away at first glance.
In order to uncover the mystery behind her sister's death, Li Jingrui will stop at nothing even if she must become a palace maid to serve a stern bastard prince for eternity.
