The royal family has been reduced to Emperor Fu Yingjue alone. Worried that he will have no heir, the court officials devoutly pray to the dragon veins of Great Qi, which send him a dragon egg. Fu Yingjue carefully protects it for three months, until it hatches into a silver-haired dragon cub whom he names Fu Jingli. Soft, innocent, clingy, and mischievous, the little dragon spends his days pestering the emperor for affection. The cold-faced emperor gradually grows gentler as he lovingly cares for the young dragon and even prepares children's clothes especially for him. One day, the playful little dragon sneaks out of the bedchamber and encounters someone else. Clinging to his hazy memories, he insists on finding his imperial father, and a heartwarming story of an emperor raising a little dragon begins.
