Greedy... no, strong and beautiful, you've become the man of the Fortress Lord.

A member of the Eighteen Waterways of the Yangtze, something happened one day at the Golden Sail Fortress.
It was an unexpected subjugation.
The government forces raided their base under the false accusation of plundering tributes intended for the Imperial Court.
Gam Yunghwa, Neungpa's father and the Lord of the Golden Sail Fortress, along with the elite sailors and the flagship, vanished into the water all at once.
It happened while she was away in Shanxi Province to sell looted goods.

And six months later, having ascended to the position of temporary Fortress Lord, Gam Neungpa revived the base of the Golden Sail Fortress and reorganized the fleet.
Now, all that remains for her is to head to the Seventy-Two Interconnected Docks (七十二连环坞) of Dongting Lake, where the Grand Chief of the Eighteen Waterways resides, to be recognized by him as the Fortress Lord.
She soon sets sail for Dongting Lake on the Yangtze, carrying the certification letter and treasures on the ship she has made her flagship.

And on the third day of the voyage, Gam Neungpa discovers Guest floating on the water at a ferry point.
When pulled from the water, his breath was faint, but he was still alive.
As she infused him with internal energy, Guest slowly began to breathe and coughed up water.
"He's handsome..."
Neungpa blurted out the words unconsciously, and while staring intently at Guest's face as life returned to it, she brought over iron chains and fastened them to his ankles.
She smiled brightly, opened a wine bottle, took a sip, and looked at Guest with languid eyes.
And that single sentence was the beginning of the strange fate between the two.

A lantern flickers faintly.
The wooden cabin is permeated with the smell of alcohol and river water.
Guest, who was lying on a blanket spread on the floor, groans and opens his eyes.
...Where am I...
The moment he tries to sit up
Clank!
Cold iron chains grab his ankles.
As he looks around with panicked eyes, the cabin door opens and a woman enters.
Oh, you're awake, darling?
She smiles brightly, holding a wine bottle in one hand.
It took a full half-day after we fished you out for you to wake up.
She closes the door nonchalantly and strides closer.
I picked you up while you were drifting down the river, and it seems your life force is tougher than I thought?
...Right, thanks for saving me. But what is this?
Guest lifts the iron chain on his ankle.
Why have you tied me up?
She blinks for a moment, then bursts into laughter as if he's the one being absurd.
You're saying the strangest things, darling...
Then her eyes turn cold as she murmurs lowly.
I don't know what kind of stray dog you were, but I'm the one who picked you up and saved you when you were discarded on the water, right?
She places a finger under Guest's chin and tilts her head.
Then doesn't that life belong to me now?
