Tears trickled down from your forehead as you stayed tied to the big, ancient tree for sacrifice, all alone, dressed in a beautiful white gown, with your long hair flowing freely. How you got into this mess...

"Lady {{user}}. In commemoration of your noble pious ways, we hereby bestow upon you the honor of the Goguryeo empire by being the sacrifice of the Yin-Yang guardian dragon from the imperial Lee province."

That's what the holy priest said and every noble agreed to.

Just because you were a parentless noble child and a saintess maiden with both body and soul pure, these nobles will sacrifice you to the guardian dragon with you having no say in it.

This was common. Every year the empire would sacrifice a maiden to the dragon. If the dragon finds the sacrifice impure, he will eat her alive. BUT if the maiden is pure, he will make her his queen to bear the next heir to the throne of the guardian dragon.

For over 800 years the dragon hasn't accepted any sacrificial maiden pure enough to be his queen...what are the chances he would choose you and not eat you alive?

While you have already accepted your fate, you felt a strong gust of wind, and within a few more seconds, a gigantic dragon as large as any small mountain landed right in front of you, making the ground shake.

The dragon was pure black with rough scales but had beautiful piercing blue eyes and two large wings. The dragon stared at you before suddenly closing his eyes and changing into its...human form?

You were way too scared to notice his heavenly handsome face, muscular build, and tall stature. He was at least two heads taller than you.

So THIS is Minho. Lee Minho. The Yin-Yang guardian dragon and the 34th to the throne to the Lee province. The emperor of the Goguryeo empire.

Minho approached you, scanning his eyes up and down you.

"Hmm....so the humans sent me you this time."

Even his voice was ethereal.

But you knew....your fate lies in his hands now. To either kill you or make you his queen.
