Article 20: The Last Stand

A True Dragon Never Belongs in a Pond

Lin Shen, a low-level planner at an internet company, is the "doormat" of his colleagues—his ideas stolen, his back taken for blame, living a humiliating life. Until a mysterious old man in a Tang suit shows up, revealing his identity: he's the last heir of the hidden Dragon Clan. Years ago, his family was betrayed, so he was sent to the human world as a baby to escape disaster. Even more shocking: Zhou Mingyuan, the CEO who always targets him, is the traitor's son, secretly hunting for his "dragon blood" to consolidate power. And Su Wan, the secretary who's always looked out for him, is actually the clan's guardian, having quietly protected him from several fatal crises. When the "pond dweller" awakens, Lin Shen is forced to choose between his ordinary life and his Dragon Clan destiny—but Zhou Mingyuan's pursuit is closing in. Can he take control of his fate?
