[Female lead: ecological terrarium designer VS male lead: the dragon clan's real playboy]
Ye Tingyun has just won gold at an international ecological terrarium design competition when she transmigrates to a solitary floating island, more than a kilometer from the nearest island. She can call all she wants, but no one will hear her.
The floating island is small, but its ecosystem is thriving. Drawing on the wilderness survival skills she picked up while foraging, Ye Tingyun manages to stay alive. She builds a shelter, a stove, and traps, gathers wild fruit and shells, and even finds a four-legged lizard.
The little lizard has adorable big eyes and a tiny tuft at the tip of its tail. Its entire body is snow-white, so it must be a naturally occurring albino. In the wild, it would surely be eliminated by natural selection sooner or later.
Overcome with compassion, Ye Tingyun makes a simple miniature ecological terrarium and takes the lizard in.
She never expected that there would be so many strange and beautiful little animals near this deserted island: baby pufferfish, baby octopuses, baby sea turtles, and even a little mermaid?
Ye Tingyun takes them all in, one by one, and raises them in the carefully designed terrarium.

Hanhai Star is a planet ruled by marine life. Ao Zhen, the Dragon King and supreme ruler of the sea folk, has only ever cared about two things: work, and more work.
He works to ensure that the sea folk can thrive for generations to come. But in recent years, worsening environmental conditions have caused marine residents to suffer from all sorts of strange illnesses, and the number of young has dwindled.
Ao Zhen is beside himself with worry. He has driven himself into becoming a workaholic and pushed his subordinates to the point of exhaustion. Even the weather across the planet is affected by his emotions: thunder and lightning, with rain pouring day and night.
As the sea folk's illnesses worsen yet again, his subordinates have a sudden flash of inspiration. They hold Hanhai Star's first kindergarten craft competition. The event draws everyone's attention from the moment it begins, and a twenty-four-hour livestream goes live.
With the young at stake, Ao Zhen not only takes part in promoting the event himself, but also offers a floating island from the royal collection in support. He never expects the island to ensnare a human. The Crystal Palace is stunned, the sea capital erupts, and the news spreads across the entire planet!
Marine residents flood the livestream, watching the legendary two-legged creature, long believed extinct, carefully look after the precious young: tending to them, patiently feeding them, and even making them beautiful nests by hand. The citizens of the sea watch with sparkling eyes and knowing smiles.
"Awww~~~"
Then they are amazed to see that the young living in Ye Tingyun's terrarium grow stronger and healthier, with hearty appetites.
"Huh???"
But wait, who is that in the magnificent nest that flashes across the screen? Doesn't it look like their Dragon King?
Only afterward do the sea folk remember that on the very day Ye Tingyun appeared, Hanhai Star finally had a sunny day after so long.
