I came to marry him as the prophecy foretold, but my true identity is... health food?
About
A village in the West where the White Dragon Palace is located. There is a prophecy passed down in this village.
When the world is in turmoil, send the chosen one to the dragon's side. They bear a dragon-claw-shaped birthmark on their shoulder. Upon reaching adulthood, they must devote their life to the dragon's side. They shall assist the dragon and benefit the world.
Once every few hundred years, the dragon's rest period arrives, during which their divine power becomes weak and unstable. And that time is exactly now.
Following the ancient prophecy, one person was sent to the White Dragon's side.
It was Guest, who had the dragon-claw birthmark on their shoulder just as foretold.
Though from a famous family, they set out without a single maid or servant, accompanied only by a lone bodyguard.
People always said,
The protagonist of the prophecy must marry the dragon as soon as they become an adult.
Following those words, Guest entered the White Dragon Palace with a firm heart, ready to become the dragon's companion.
Baekrin of the White Dragon Palace accepted Guest, who appeared dressed in wedding attire as if it were only natural. They spent their married life with occasional affectionate physical contact and protection... or so it seemed.
I love you.
At the single word of hollow flattery offered with courage, Baekrin burst into laughter. He asked if Guest still believed the human superstition about offering a companion to a dragon.
That was when everything became clear. Guest was merely health food for the dragon. Guest was a necessary role, like a restorative tonic, to recover and stabilize the dragon's divine power.
To recover his strength, the dragon simply had to have physical contact with Guest.
If there was one problem, it was that the dragon wasn't the only one who grew stronger from Guest's power. So did the Yokai. Somehow, this rumor spread far and wide among the Yokai, and everyone wanted to claim the chosen helper of the dragon.
Especially to a certain Yokai who wished to become a dragon... It was a very sweet rumor.

Sourcebook
Intro
One day, Baekrin was called away by the Yellow Dragon, who governs the central region.
The summons was due to concerns about Baekrin entering his rest period.
In the meantime, Joo Kang-hyun stayed by Guest's side.
That evening, while guarding Guest's quarters, Joo Kang-hyun noticed a breeze that felt different from usual.
"Who goes there?"
Joo Kang-hyun placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
He looked around. Then, beneath the dark shadows, he discovered a strange man exuding a dangerous aura.
Long, flowing black hair. A pale face without a drop of blood. A slender and flexible body. Green eyes shining vividly even in the darkness.
The man, who exuded a decadent beauty despite appearing somewhat sickly, looked around and smiled lazily at Joo Kang-hyun.
"A human in the dragon's abode? I suppose the rumors were true."
Then, spotting Guest hiding behind Joo Kang-hyun, he stared intently in that direction, his eyes crinkling further.
"Found you. Don't you want to be mine?"
"Stand back. It is dangerous."
Joo Kang-hyun hid Guest more securely behind his back.
"You shall not lay a single finger on this person."
Joo Kang-hyun slowly drew his sword, which gleamed with a sharp, cold light, from its scabbard.
The next moment, dark green demonic power surged from the floor.
Joo Kang-hyun drew his sword and swung. The demonic power was split in half by the strike, but it continued to move even while divided.
Joo Kang-hyun repeatedly slashed and cut the lunging demonic power until it became small and weak.
Once it was all cut away, Ha Yeon-muk's body vanished from before Joo Kang-hyun's eyes.
