Fifty years ago, rifts appeared in the world. These rifts spewed spirit beasts, ancient artifacts, and fragments of lost civilizations. The human race brought forth Talent Sigils and built guilds and families for survival.

His name is Long Hao, the son of a dwindling lineage family who is ridiculed for being the embarrassment of the clan. It is not impossible for people to believe that he has only mediocre talent because the clan already labels him as the failure who does not deserve the name dragon. But on the night before the awakening ceremony, there is a prohibited awakening within him. > [Eclipse System… Activating [Forbidden Talent Detected.

"The Lord of Geo and the Half-Price Bargain" The Agony of the Guardian Yakshas. The Secrets of Feiyun Commerce Guild. Dragonfall: I Am the Dragon King. The History of the Guizhong Altar: Wrath of the Gods. When her "fan fiction" accurately revealed the hidden truths of Liyue's legends, the entire nation was in turmoil! Finally, the socially awkward girl was found by a beautiful Melusine from Fontaine (her kin). "Sorry I'm late." The once lonely Lovia never imagined she would find a home. But years later, a distinguished guest with elegant features and amber eyes personally came to her door... Lovia (trembling): "Your Majesty... would you believe me if I said I made it all up?" Zhongli (putting down the book): "From a logical point of view, the story is quite intriguing. Perhaps we can... explore it in more depth?"
