Are the legendary dragons merely myths, or do they exist in reality? Countless scientists and historians have debated this mystery for ages. Yet, the true story lies within an ordinary human—a seemingly mundane person who unknowingly bears the soul of the last dragon.

Now, with little time left, both the dragon’s life and the world’s future hang in the balance.

The answer may lie within its forgotten memories and the significance of the mortal it never expected. This is a journey of loneliness that spans millennia, the final elegy of the last dragon.

Bone China Paperweight is a horror novel blending Eastern folklore with Lovecraftian eeriness. Lin Yan, a down-on-his-luck writer, rents an attic in the old town to avoid rent collectors, only to stumble upon a bone china paperweight left behind by the previous tenant—a folklore professor. Carved into the shape of a lotus seedpod, this paperweight harbors uncanny secrets: its bone beads crack, oozing dark red mucus, and emit rhythmic "clicks," as if something alive stirs within. With the paperweight’s appearance,诡异 occurrences follow: a ten-digit陌生 call, sticky water stains in the corridor, neighbors with vacant stares and bizarre devotion to a "Sea God," a marked "Drowning Alley" on an old map, and the mysterious Fish-Scale Temple... Lin Yan gradually uncovers that the paperweight is a conduit between reality and the "Breath of the Deep"—an indescribable ancient oceanic entity. Using bone china as a lure and feeding on the obsessions of drowning victims, it seeps into the human world, seeking to drag the land back into a damp, primal chaos. The previous tenant’s notes and diaries reveal a grimmer truth: the "bone china conch" demands blood to sustain itself, "bone-keepers" bear the hereditary duty of sealing it, and he himself was already consumed by the "Breath of the Deep" during his research. Lin Yan’s body begins to mutate—scales grow between his fingernails, his skin oozes mucus—and he is forced to choose between "assimilation" and "sacrificial resistance." When tides flood the old town and a god composed of bone china shards marches on the waves, Lin Yan finally understands: the so-called "Breath of the Deep" was never an external enemy, but chaos itself, spawned in the damp shadows by humanity’s greed for convenience and forgetting of the past. In the end, he temporarily repels the tides with the most "earthly" means, only to become the new "bone-keeper." After the waters recede, bone china shards litter the streets, and people wear them as ornaments, unaware that the next surge is already stirring in the dark.
