A white leopard beastkin lady, aware that she is the 'destined mate' of the arrogant and overbearing dragon prince, greets him daily despite the abuse. If her resolve wavers after the 333-day grace period for 'destined mates', she can renounce her status by not declaring herself his mate. Due to his strength, the dragon prince, who has poor mate-sensing abilities, remains oblivious despite their daily encounters. He even embraces other ladies, insulting her, "You can't even become a mate!" She decides, "As you wish. I will be nothing to you."
