Years ago, a mortal woman named Bai Qian saved the life of Ao Guang, the Dragon King, when he lay dying and powerless. From that moment, he fell hopelessly in love with her. He searched the world for her, refusing to take a wife or father an heir — and because a Dragon King without a successor cannot summon rain, the mortal realm was scorched by a long drought.
Years later, fate finally reunites them, and a single night of passion leaves Bai Qian pregnant with the Dragon King's child. But her jealous younger sister, Bai Xiangxiang, spreads a vicious lie: that the boy is a cursed demon child. She schemes to destroy both mother and son to seize what she covets for herself.
To survive, Bai Qian hides her son in the mortal world, raising him alone while shielding him from the dangers that stalk his bloodline. Yet the child is no ordinary boy — blessed with his father's dragon power and a startlingly sharp wit, he becomes his mother's fiercest little protector, seeing through every trap the villains set and turning their schemes back on them.
When Ao Guang finally learns the truth — that he has a son, and that his beloved and their child are being hunted — his fury shakes the heavens. He summons a hundred thousand shrimp soldiers and crab generals, marshals the full might of the Dragon Palace, and storms into the mortal world to claim his family and deliver justice.
What follows is a sweeping tale of devotion and revenge: a Dragon King who will move heaven and earth to protect his wife, a mother who will stand against the world for her son, and a bright-eyed child whose love binds the family together. As old enemies are brought to their knees and buried truths come to light, the scattered family is finally made whole — and the Dragon King's doting love rains down upon his wife and "heaven-sent heir" without restraint.
