Once I offered him my seven tails, my soul core, and even my kingdom. In return, he shattered our family—turning on me, marrying my betrayer, and cutting our son in two. A thousand years later, he returns to take my core for her sake. He puts our boy through suffering and burns my body to the ground. But flames do not end my child: he rises as a golden dragon and reveals the truth—“Her core has been inside you all along.” Now the man who ruined everything is on his knees, pleading through tears. Yet after all this time, can my heart still find its way back to him?
