The Dragon God They Dared to Mock

She knocked on the door in a worn gray robe, carrying only an old cloth bag. Twenty years ago, she was abducted and torn from the declining Windsor family. Twenty years later, she returned — as their daughter, concealing the supreme power of a dragon god. Her name was Selina. No creature on the continent dared show her disrespect; a single look from her could send an entire army to its knees, trembling. But on the day she came home, she shed her black dragon armor and sealed away the power that crushed all living things, wanting only to be an ordinary daughter. The family's decline, her failed awakening, the public breaking of her engagement — she watched it all without a word. Until someone laid hands on her family. At that moment, the seal shattered, and golden dragon qi soared into the sky, and the whole continent would come to understand: there are some people you should never provoke.

Story Guide

Episode 1

Selina comes home after twenty years, a worn gray robe on her back and an old cloth bag in her hand, and knocks on the Windsor door like a stranger. Her parents are scraping by, and the family's last treasure is on the block: the ancestral dragon crystal. At the Blackstone auction house, the buyer sneers that its purity is worthless, offering a pittance while her mother pleads that they need the money so Selina can awaken her dragon bloodline. Her father refuses to sell. Then Selina steps in, tells her parents to head home, and faces the auction house alone. The room turns ugly fast — and someone orders her killed.

Episode 2

The auction house throws everything at her, and it goes badly for them. Awakened dragon warriors rush Selina and drop one after another, leaving the onlookers stunned that a single woman can cut them down so easily. When they demand to know who she is, she tells them they are not worthy of the answer. She sets her own price for the dragon crystal, and the auction master, sensing an aura thousands of times stronger than his own, drops to his knees and begs for mercy. He offers a thousand gold coins; she names fifteen hundred. He pays, and even hands the crystal back for a single gold coin.

Episode 3

Selina empties the cloth bag at home and shows her parents what the dragon crystal actually brought in — fifteen hundred gold coins. She explains that the buyer tried to cheat them because they didn't know dragon crystals, and that once he realized he couldn't fool her, he paid the going rate. Her parents are overjoyed, and her mother shares news: they're holding a homecoming banquet to announce Selina's return, and she'll finally meet Kellen Thorne, the Thorne heir and her betrothed. Selina agrees to whatever her parents want. Meanwhile, Selina asks Theodore, high priest of the dragon sanctum, to tell her everything about the Thorne family — and about their ancient relic.

Episode 4

The Thornes have no intention of honoring the betrothal. Kellen's father declares the Windsors are in the dirt and that Kellen's future wife cannot be an unawakened nobody; Kellen agrees they should attend the banquet and end the family's delusion publicly. At the Windsor homecoming banquet, the guests mock Selina as an unawakened failure who thinks she can marry into the Thorne family. Then Kellen stands and breaks the engagement in front of everyone, saying the betrothal is dead. The Windsors are humiliated. Selina's father apologizes to her, but she tells him not to — she promises to make them pay.

Episode 5

The dragon sanctum moves. Theodore confirms the gifts of homage for her Grace's return are prepared, then orders the entire dragon royal guard to assemble — today they ride to Windsor to honor her Grace's return to her family with the highest honors. Back at the Windsor estate, the mockery continues: the Thornes burned the betrothal in public and left the family no dignity, and the whispers say the Windsors are unawakened failures. Someone sneers that Selina is just an unawakened girl from the backwater who should be on her knees thanking the gods that Kellen Thorne even set foot in this hovel. Selina warns that she will burn that mouth shut. Then the dragon sanctum's royal guard arrives — and Theodore announces he comes bearing gifts for her Grace.
