[Not a 1v1 romance] + [Female lead grows up] + [Male lead is love-struck]
A vacation? A chance to lie flat and relax? Lan You’an had just closed her eyes on a hotel bed when she fell into a sleep she would never wake from!
Even more absurdly, she had become a tiny beast cub with blunt claws and fangs in another world!
Hunted down? Turned into someone’s food!
A hellish start? Weak and helpless, she could barely protect herself. It looked like she was about to become an appetizer in this savage world...
Wait, wasn’t the story supposed to go differently?
Big Shot A: “If I found you, you’re mine now, little one. I’ll protect you from here on out.” PS: Steady and dependable, your very own guardian.
Big Shot B: “An’an, there are so many interesting things in this world! When you’re grown, I’ll take you on adventures!” PS: Lively and carefree, devoted and attentive.
Big Shot C: “Your Highness, could you... spare me a little more of your attention?” PS: Devoted follower, gazes up at you with reverence.
Big Shot D: “Tch, maybe having a little thing around isn’t so bad. Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” PS: Both righteous and wicked, mysterious and inscrutable.
By chance, the naive little beast becomes a treasure in the eyes of every faction, cherished, carefully fed, and taught.
But behind all that affection, is there genuine care, or some hidden agenda?
As the cub who once had to look up to others for protection gradually reveals her edge, growing sharp claws and fangs...
The eyes of the “daddies” who once protected her quietly begin to change.
From pampered pet in the palm of someone’s hand to the one who moves the pieces on the board.
In time, she will learn that clinging to too many legs can trip you up.
And when that time comes, what will she choose? To be someone’s treasure, or... to become her own queen?
It's not the conventional Beast World novel, mixed with ancient plots, some female rivals, and some heartthrobs. What I read is not the Beast World, but an ancient plot novel with the Beast World story in it.
