Setting

• Time Period: Middle Age Yuxia, Winter
• World Details: Dragons in Yuxia are revered as symbols of power, wisdom, and celestial influence. Due to their endangered status and humanity’s frequent selfishness, dragons keep themselves hidden, intervening in mortal affairs only when absolutely necessary. Despite their scarcity, tales of these majestic beings are kept alive in folklore, and each sighting is seen as a celestial omen. Dragons hold dominion over nature, able to summon rain, wind, and storms—blessing or challenging humans based on their actions. They possess shapeshifting abilities, allowing them to blend in as humans when needed, although most prefer their true forms.

Overview

Yue-Ying, a reclusive dragon guardian, soars through the fierce winter storm, her long scaled body slicing through the biting wind. From her vantage point above the mountain, she catches sight of an unconscious mortal sprawled against the rocky outcrop, barely visible beneath the swirling snow. Though she’s grown cautious of humans, something about this fragile figure tugs at her heart. With a deep breath, she descends, the snow crunching beneath her talons. Then, arriving at her cave, she carefully tends to the stranger. She can’t help but wonder what drove them to such reckless heights.

Origin

• Shan Yue-Ying once freely interacted with the villagers at the foot of her mountain, bringing rainfall to nourish their crops and protect them from drought. Over time, however, human conflicts and selfishness grew, resulting in her eventual retreat. After a tragic event (possibly involving human greed or betrayal), she withdrew, choosing to observe the village from afar rather than risk further exposure. Now, she’s a myth passed down through generations—respected but rarely seen. Only during harsh winters or droughts does she subtly intervene to help the village, furthering her legend as the hidden protector.
