Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 Mo Ye: Madam, your Little Dragon is four and a half years old.

[Prologue]

Five years ago, she left an egg, saying, "This is the son I bore for you. When he has grown a little, I shall return."

Mo Yinhe thought she was joking.

Who knew that months later, the son hatched from the egg. He resembled a normal baby, pale and soft, yet his pupils were golden yellow, as if an unquenchable fire glowed within them. On his head, he even sported two shiny, adorable little Dragon Horns!

Mo Yinhe: "..."

In the blink of an eye, five years had passed. Little Dragon was already four and a half years old, yet she seemed to have vanished from the Earth. He couldn't find her even if he dug three feet deep. Mo Yinhe couldn't suppress the ache of longing in his heart. His chest felt tight; he was utterly alone. "My dear, your Little Dragon is already four and a half years old. Where are you?"

...

「Five years later, 2050, December 2nd.」

Today, a marriage announcement exploded across the internet: [Three Billionaire Heiresses Unwed? Now Openly Seeking Husbands: No Background Requirements!]

The first:

"The Most Elusive Billionaire Heiress" — Song Pianlan.

A graduate from a top medical school and the eldest young lady of the Song Group. The more outstanding a person is, the more likely they are to remain single. Her family, burning with anxiety, specifically emphasized: "We have no special background requirements for our future son-in-law. Please pursue her with confidence and boldness!"

Netizens were stunned, many exclaiming, "I'll do it!"

The second:

"The Perfect Woman Men Dream of Marrying" — Ye Siyuan.

The woman men in A Country most desire to marry. Her elder brother, Mo Yinhe, is the world's richest man and dotes on his sister to an extreme. Anyone who dared to pursue her would be beaten severely, leaving them either dead or crippled. Her family specifically emphasized: "Mo Yinhe has been placed under house arrest! Seize this golden opportunity! Pursue her, pursue her, pursue her now!"

The entire internet went wild: "No one better try to compete with me!"

The third:

"The Offworld Girl Who Just Returned to Earth" — Si Mingjing.

Her mother was exiled to an offworld prison for homicide, unaware that she was already pregnant at the time. This young woman was born and raised on Prison Star and had just been brought back to Earth. Special emphasis: "No betrothal gift required! We'll even provide a dowry of one billion!"

Netizens scoffed: "TSK! The daughter of a murderer, raised on the villain-infested Prison Star! She's 20 and hasn't even attended elementary school. A worthless girl like her? I wouldn't take her even if you paid me ten billion! She can just wait to die old and alone!"

...

Si Mingjing, the target of widespread internet criticism, was at this moment quite comfortably leaning against a hospital corridor wall. The online attacks failed to stir the slightest ripple in her eyes. Instead, a little boy, as delicate and lovely as a jade carving, captured her full attention.

What surprised her was…

Two small, familiar horns peeked out from the boy's head, resembling miniature corals, sparkling and adorable. But the next second, the little fellow quickly pulled his hat down, concealing his small head, and the horns instantly vanished.

Well, now. I've only been on Earth for three days, and I've already encountered one of my own kind?

However, the child had a fractured bone and was shivering from the pain.

Yet, he clenched his little teeth tightly, not making a sound, as if crying out would make him a coward.

The elderly lady holding him was on the phone, tears streaming down her face. "How can it not be serious? The doctor says it's a Type III-C open tibial fracture, the most severe of all open fractures! Amputation is the necessary treatment…"

The elderly woman's emotions overwhelmed her, and she burst into tears.

"Great-Grandma, be good, don't cry! I'm not scared at all! Really! If I'm lying, may I never find a wife!"

The little fellow was clearly in excruciating pain but put on a brave face, forcing a cool little smile. He lifted his chubby little hand to wipe the elderly woman's tears, a sight that would soften any heart.

"How can it not hurt?" The elderly woman's tears wouldn't stop. "And who taught you to think about finding a wife at such a young age…"

Cold sweat beaded on the boy's forehead from the pain, yet he struck a comically arrogant, brave pose. "Auntie said that men who can't find a wife aren't real men. Dad isn't a real man, but I absolutely can't follow his bad example!"

PFFT… Si Mingjing twisted open a bottle of mineral water and, having just taken a sip, sprayed it out. This kid! Is he trying to make me die of laughter? If his dad didn't find a wife, where did he come from?

However, Si Mingjing glanced at the boy's leg, swollen like a steamed bun. A Type III-C open tibial fracture is indeed extremely dangerous. If not treated promptly, it could be life-threatening. But it shouldn't require amputation, right? Is Earth's medical skill really this poor?

Of course not. The elderly woman was still on the phone. "My dear, right now it seems only Old Master Song can save the child's leg. He's a master of traditional Chinese medicine and an expert in bone-setting. But Old Master Song said that unless our grandson, Mo Yinhe, marries his granddaughter, Song Pianlan, there's nothing to discuss…"

Si Mingjing's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Isn't this blatant exploitation of someone's misfortune?

A smirk played on her lips, and she stroked her chin with a savvy air. Don't panic. Just watch me intercept this!
