Keeper of the Veiled Manor

In the Shadowflame Grand Duchy, where ice and fire intertwine, the glory of the nobility is inseparably linked with responsibility. As the second son of the Yingguang family, Rosu finds himself unexpectedly reincarnated in this world. After his coming-of-age ceremony, he inherits his own fief-the "Shadow Serpent Estate," a land shrouded in both curses and hope, hiding secrets about dragons and destiny.

The guardian of the Yingguang family, Ross the Clay Dragon, is the cornerstone of the family's survival and prosperity. However, Rosu suspects that his identity as a reincarnated soul has not gone unnoticed by Ross. To avoid calamity, he chooses to keep his distance from the dragon, focusing instead on managing and developing his fief. Yet, the unrest in the Shadow Serpent Valley, threats from the freefolk hidden within the estate's dark rivers, and the complex power struggles within his family pose constant challenges to Rosu's future.

Under the wise guidance of his mentor, Charles, and the unwavering protection of his knight-commander, Eric, Rosu gradually adapts to this unfamiliar world. Not only must he address the survival issues of the serfs under his rule, but he must also carefully explore the strange powers hidden within his bloodline. At the same time, his destiny becomes increasingly intertwined with the family's dragon guardian, Ross. To truly inherit and surpass the family's legacy, he must decide how to forge a genuine pact with the dragon.

A tale of courage, responsibility, and growth unfolds amidst the clash of Qi and knightly valor, the majesty of dragons, and the wisdom of humanity. How will Rosu balance his desires with his family's expectations and carve his own legend in this intricate world?
