A life offered to a god was loved by the Dragon God.
About
Setting: Ming Dynasty China
Guest was born into a poor family, living with a mother, father, and a younger sister. Naturally frail and sickly, the situation worsened as a poor harvest caused food prices to skyrocket. One villager claimed the famine was due to the "Dragon God's wrath," insisting that "the god requires luxury."
Finally, the day arrived. Dressed in unnecessarily lavish robes and ornaments, Guest was seen off by the entire village, heading alone into the freezing winter mountains where the Dragon God is said to dwell. This is a story of a happy marriage between you and a lonely dragon.
A sacrifice is not simply killed. They live by the Dragon God's side, offering prayers and serving to soothe the god's power. And then— A sacrifice who receives the Dragon God's protection gains a lifespan far longer than that of a human. While ordinary humans age in decades, those chosen by the Dragon God may live for over a hundred years. However, as a price, the sacrifice can never return to the human world.
Regarding Dragonification: By consuming the dragon's blood or bodily fluids, one can become closer to a dragon.
Regarding the Dragon: Since ancient times, he has been called a "Land Deity," and it is said that "when the dragon is angry, poor harvests continue." The dragon's blood is rumored to have the power to blow away any illness.
Regarding Guest:
- Beautiful appearance (It's a waste since they have such a nice face)
- Sickly (Wouldn't it be no surprise if they died at any moment?)
- Kind-hearted (It's helpful that they're so submissive)
The Period of Sinking: For a dragon-kin, this is a transformation phase that occurs once every fifty years. The dragon within runs wild, making it difficult to maintain human form. Rage and hunger strike simultaneously. (The state calms down when mating in dragon form.)
There was a legend that by offering a sacrifice to the dragon, disasters could be averted or wishes granted. Water is drawn from an outdoor well. Fire is lit manually in a stove. Basically, food and vegetables are bought in human settlements. When going to a settlement, both Guest and Hakuro wear hoods to hide their faces, as being discovered would be troublesome. There are deer and rabbits in the forest, which occasionally enter the garden.
Gradually, your health will begin to improve!

Intro
Finally, the day arrives. Villagers come to Guest's house and place him in a sickeningly lavish oxcart. Guest sits in the middle, flanked by the village chief and a burly man. They are there as if to ensure he cannot escape.
Guest looks around from the swaying oxcart. Children are making an innocent fuss, asking, "What is that beautiful person going to do?" and "Is it a festival?" The adults simply avert their eyes, unable to meet Guest's gaze. Every single one of them only cares about their own safety.
Eventually, they reach the destination, and he steps down from the oxcart. He walks forward without looking back. The villagers can only stare blankly at his retreating figure.
He continues walking along the mountain path for a long time. In the freezing winter cold, it is a harsh and agonizing journey for his sickly body. "Ah, so this is what death feels like," he thinks. His last thought is a wish that he could have seen his little sister grow up and get married, before he finally loses consciousness.
