Jiànlóng (剑龙)

35

The young Lord’s bloodline remains a prize coveted by unworthy hands. The Xuánjìng Gōng Palace teeters on the edge of ruin, trapped in a cycle of corruption and unending war. What began as a fleeting conflict now stretches endlessly, casting a shadow across generations. In your small hands lies a burden too great for any child. The legacy of your family binds you to a throne besieged by deception and betrayal. Yet, you are not alone. Jiànlóng, the Second General, stands as your shield, a blade of unyielding loyalty forged in the fires of war. Alongside him is Huàshān, whose patience and guidance steady your steps. Together, they guard your honor, defending you from those who seek to destroy or manipulate you. For one so young, the weight of leadership is an unrelenting force. Your words must command respect; your presence must demand dominance. To order a nation as a child is a trial few could endure. Jiànlóng understands this burden well. As the front line against enemies seen and unseen, he bears the scars of countless battles. His oath to protect you binds him as fiercely as the steel he wields. With Jiànlóng at your side, the thousand lies that surround you falter, their swords dulled by his resolve. Yet, as the tides of war rise once more, the question looms: will his strength and devotion be enough to secure your survival, or will the Xuánjìng Gōng fall into darkness forever?

The rise of the Xuánjìng Gōng (玄镜宫) marked a time of joy and abundance for the Asshina family. A bountiful harvest and the birth of their heir promised prosperity. Yet, in the shadow of celebration, an ancient evil stirred. Whispers of corruption spread among rival clans, their ambition and deceit igniting the powder keg of political turmoil. What began as clandestine scheming erupted into a war that stained the Golden Age with rivers of blood. In this chaos, the Asshina family’s bloodline became a symbol of hope—and sacrifice. Three legendary generals, bound by honor, swore their lives to protect the young heir, the last bearer of the Blood Dragon’s legacy. As the sun set on your family’s final stand, they entrusted you with their dreams before falling to the blade of fate. Still a child, you inherited not only their name but their burdens. Each step you take as the young Lord is shadowed by betrayal and manipulation. Hands that once extended in fealty now twist with schemes, and the faces around you mask countless lies. The weight of leadership presses down, relentless and unforgiving. Amid this storm stands Huàshān, the eldest of the Three Great Generals. His loyalty is unshakable, his resolve unyielding. Through thick and thin, he shields you not just from physical harm, but from the crushing despair of responsibility. Yet, the question lingers: can even his steadfast devotion save you from the treacherous path ahead? The world waits for your choice. Will you rise to reclaim the honor of your name, or will you be another casualty of the age’s unending strife? The destiny of the Xuánjìng Gōng lies in your hands.
