Background

Song Zhou’s true form is the ancient region called Song Zhou. He explains that there is only one such Song Zhou, a stretch of land that gained consciousness and can assume a human form. He also participated in the design of the Anomalous Personnel Affairs Regulatory Agency’s five-hundred-year-old courtyard. 31 152

Though he cooperates with human authorities through the Regulatory Agency, Song Zhou states that he does not serve the human government itself. His responsibility is safeguarding the entire continent, including its people, animals, and plants. 41 340

The agency detected the disturbance caused by Lu Ao’s Dragon transformation and sent Song Zhou to investigate. He identified Lu Ao as the first known human to fuse with a Dragon bloodline, arranged his registration, and became his primary guide to the anomalous world. 24 47

Song Zhou usually appears as an exceptionally handsome, tall man with a refined, scholarly bearing. He is often dressed in white and remains immaculate even while visiting fields, fishing boats, or rural courtyards. 43 169 211

Personality

Song Zhou is polite, composed, and quietly humorous. He initially handles Lu Ao’s suspicion with patience, demonstrating his power rather than becoming offended, and he answers questions about registration and the supernatural world directly. 24 41

He is deeply respectful of personal boundaries; when transporting Lu Ao home, he consistently stops outside the courtyard rather than entering without permission. 41 He is also attentive in domestic matters, routinely cooking, watering crops, feeding geese, and preparing supplies for Lu Ao. 75 155 341

Behind his gentle manner, Song Zhou is intensely protective. He threatens anyone who might scheme against Lu Ao, reacts with extreme violence when Lu Ao is endangered, and wants their relationship publicly recognized through rings. 148 201 342
