Jasmine received "shocking" news: she had to marry the Dragon Ghost as his wife. But in exchange, after the marriage, she would inherit the entire estate, subjects, and territory of her husband.
Jasmine was overjoyed: "Is there such a sweet deal in this world?"
On the wedding day, she dressed up sharply and stepped into the magnificent cathedral, casting an affectionate glance toward her future partner. And then she saw... a Dragon Egg.
The majestic Dragon Ghost was nowhere to be seen; there was only an egg lying there all by itself.
Inventory of assets: A dilapidated castle, with drafty winds blowing in from all directions. Subjects: Three hundred skin-and-bone slaves who, at first glance, looked like walking skeletons about to collapse from hunger. Territory: A dead land spanning ten thousand square kilometers around the Dragon Valley, so desolate that "dogs eat stones and chickens eat pebbles."
Jasmine knew she had fallen for the scam of the century, but unfortunately, the knights who escorted Jasmine here had long since "whipped their horses and vanished," running away a long time ago. An old butler, so aged he could barely walk, tremblingly stepped forward, waiting for the new Lord's instructions: "My Lord..."
Jasmine held the "egg-husband" in her arms, and her rational nerves snapped: "I have land and people, could I really let myself starve to death?"
Putting words into action, Jasmine rolled up her sleeves and officially embarked on the path of tilling the soil to get rich.
Many years later.
A strange town suddenly appeared on the mainland, rumored to be obscenely wealthy. From that place flowed exquisite fabrics, pure white porcelain, and sparkling jewelry... Anyone who had ever set foot there could not help but exclaim in amazement, while wandering poets competed to compose poems praising that prosperity until their throats were sore.
A certain greedy King became overcome with avarice and brought a massive army, intending to seize the town for his own.
The result? They were treated to the sight of a giant dragon descending from the sky to "pay them a visit."

Hearing Jasmine suddenly use this name to greet him, Bianco momentarily could not react in time. The little boy only instinctively widened his eyes, as if wanting to hear this name uttered from Jasmine's mouth once again.


"Mil... Milady, can you call my name again?" The skinny little boy stared fixedly at Jasmine, his voice trembling, afraid he was hallucinating just now.


"Yes, I am Bianco," Bianco answered loudly, his eyes sparkling brightly.


*Plop.* A bit of warm wetness fell onto Bianco's sparsely-haired head. The little boy reflexively reached up to touch it, only to end up with a hand full of bird droppings.
