"When Chinese New Year happens, that's the only time I get to see him." - AX

Althea Xi, an orphan and a freelance article writer in most Shanghai mainland broadcasting and newspaper companies wanted to become a famous top author in China through an international competition that will end before the new year of 2023. She came up with the decision to use the 'The Legend of the Cursed Dragon' as her setting for her work, in which her deceased grandmother always told her when it was nighttime when she was just a kid. But fate turned the tables around when she has been disqualified from the competition as soon as she used the prohibited folklore. 

She used that opportunity to abandon the story that was etched through her mind for a long time by throwing the bejeweled box that she was forbidden to open to the Yangtze River. Her deceased grandmother had been guarding it since her teenage years, and she knew that the box and the legend had been bringing her a stroke of bad luck all throughout her life. But before she could even leave the river, she accidentally tripped through rocks and fell down on the deep waters. 

She swam upwards with all her might, but little did she know, she was being transported through the year 1904, where a Chinese New Year celebration was happening on the side of the river.

A LITTLE EXCERPT: 

"I exude a powerful charm I never imagined that would save you." 

"It was because of the power of love we have on each other." 

He then claimed her lips in the middle of the rain while the rivers of the Yangtze River were evident. He held onto her waist after a while. And she scraped her fingernails on his hair. 

They both love each other, they both do.

A Tale of Chinese New Year Lovers: My Dragon, My Love

In order to kill, attack from behind,

In order to murder, plan of time is the key,

In order to wake up, get up from the bed,

In order to love, sacrifice everything that you will lead to.

THE YEAR 1904, a century away from the present time.

There was a blood. A spot of blood appeared in her abdomen, the exact place where the Jian sword penetrated her body. It was no other than the cause of Wang Qing Long's madness. She held onto the side of her abdomen. The pain nearly killed her in that place. Xiaojun crouched down with an anxious face. He wanted to ask, but... something caught his eye.

The blood soaked through her robes. It dripped all over the floor in no time. She cradled, squirming at her place. No words could explain how far she could go. Althea folded her knees close to her abdomen as Xiaojun reached the door. He clung onto dear life, thinking that Qing Long would answer.
