About The True Dragon Within the Lonely City
When modern elite special forces operative Qin Lie wakes up as the cowardly puppet emperor of the ancient Great Qian Dynasty, he finds himself stripped of his dignity and humiliated before the entire corrupt imperial court.
Power-hungry regent Zhu Sha rules with an iron fist, forcing the young sovereign to remove his boots while openly abusing the royal consorts. Surrendered by sycophants and trapped within his isolated palace, Qin Lie appears utterly powerless. But beneath the surface lies a terrifying secret: his physical vessel shares a soul with none other than the legendary Phoenix Ancestor, the dynasty's fierce founding empress.
United by fate and vengeance, an unprecedented alliance is forged within one body. The ancient monarch imparts ruthless court intrigue and timeless imperial strategy, while the modern commando shares lethal special warfare tactics and explosive guerilla combat skills. When Zhu Sha orchestrates a catastrophic flood to drown the palace and usurp the dragon throne once and for all, he believes the pathetic emperor is doomed. Instead, he marches straight into a deadly, subterranean ambush designed to drag him straight to hell. The true dragon has finally awakened to reclaim his empire.
