Meet Truyan Saigas: The Unlikely Heroine
At the heart of this narrative is Truyan Saigas, a young woman whose life takes an unexpected twist when tragedy strikes her family. After her father mysteriously vanishes at sea, the weight of responsibility falls squarely on her shoulders. Entering the world of con artistry might not have been her first choice, but talent in art forgery—specifically, the ability to paint glimpses of the future—becomes her saving grace.
However, a dark cloud looms over her creativity. Gangsters, relentless in pursuing her mother’s gambling debts, leave Truyan with limited options. To secure a fresh start for her family, she reluctantly agrees to a marriage contract with a dashing but secretive dragon lord, Elang.
A Fantastical Underwater Realm
Lim’s latest creation is a feast for the imagination. The story transports readers to the underwater kingdom of Ai’long, where the couple’s new life unfolds in a dilapidated palace reminiscent of the Beast’s estate from Beauty and the Beast. Readers will delight in Lim’s rich world-building, filled with marine creatures and merfolk that breathe life into this vibrant setting. As Truyan evolves into her role as the ocean’s new lady, she learns to communicate with the waves themselves—magic that adds a whimsical layer to her character.
Elang: The Romantic Dragon Prince
And let’s not forget Elang, who is a compelling mix of half-dragon, half-mortal. As the beloved love interest, he carries the weight of his family’s expectations, not to mention his hidden pearl—a source of his power and emotions—stolen away by the tyrannical Dragon King. Yet, his undying affection for Truyan makes him a captivating figure, especially when he refers to her as "my wife" with an air of honor. This phrase encapsulates his deep commitment and longing, sparking chemistry that’s as delicious as it is tense.
