A tale of Betrayal and How to Regain Your Glory After Experiencing the Brink of Death

Back from the Brink has a simple story plot, a handicapped dragon in search of his missing parts due to an ex betrayal.This simplicity is its strength.

The FL is hilarious and is not portrayed as a weak and dumb girl like most of FLs in these types of dramas. She has her own mind and personality. She speaks what she wants, and will obtain what she wants through thick or thin.Yan Hui is a gem. She kicks ass, is honest and protects our dragon. Although she also grows as a person on their journey she is the rock that braces the storm. She is steadfast and true to herself, not to mention straightforward, brave and hilarious. She takes a lot of rejection from TY early on but she is not a push over and Tian Yao has to fight for her to get back in her good graces. There are a few instances where she wasn't the smartest cookie around, but I think that was mostly played for comedic effect. Most of the time she is smart and thoughtful.

ML is a dragon king who was betrayed and dismembered by his lover 20 years ago and is now reborn.He is reborn and seeks out Yan Hui, who holds a piece of his soul (the Heart Protecting Scale), to help him find the rest of his body and regain his power.He initially uses Yan Hui for his own purposes, but over time, they develop a strong bond of trust and love.
