[Pure sweetness] [A cute little story, may start writing it on a whim at any moment, orz]
Rule One for Evil Dragons: Protect your treasure.
Rule Two for Evil Dragons: Kidnap a princess to be your wife.
In his second year after traveling from the West to the Eastern Continent, the evil dragon Cecilith was about to enter his first breeding season as an adult.
He decided to kidnap a princess ahead of time so they could grow closer.
Looking at the "princess" surrounded by a crowd, Cecilith thought: This princess is a little taller, sturdier, and darker than most, but her looks are exactly to a dragon's taste.
So he kidnapped her.
The moment the rebellion succeeded and the capital fell, with the crowd roaring "My lord!" Yan Tuo thought that from then on, his life would be smooth sailing.
But he never expected to be kidnapped by a strange dragon in full view of everyone!
In a cave, the strange dragon spoke in human language and proudly pushed over half a box of silver coins. "Human, be dragon's wife. These are all yours."
Yan Tuo: "..."
Just as he was about to become emperor, he got kidnapped by a strange dragon. And it wasn't to be eaten, but to be its wife, for no more than half a box of silver coins...
Could it be that he really wasn't destined to be emperor?
Seeing no reaction from him, the strange dragon reluctantly pushed over a small wooden box. "Human, have dragon's little ones. These gold coins are yours too."
"There isn't much gold yet, but dragon will earn more!"
Yan Tuo looked past a thin layer of gold beans and spotted the Imperial Seal at the bottom of the box.
Yan Tuo: "..."
What a laugh. If he wasn't destined to be emperor, who was?
Yan Tuo smiled gently at the evil dragon with its clear, innocent eyes and said without a trace of guilt, "After we get married, husbands have to listen to their wives. If you marry me, will you listen to me from now on?"
The strange dragon blinked and answered honestly, "Yes."
"Then your wife doesn't like caves. Will you come with me?"
"...All right."
"Don't be upset. You like gold, and I happen to have plenty of it. You'll like it."
Later, lying on a pile of gold coins in the imperial palace and playing with them, Cecilith finally realized something:
So it wasn't a princess, but a lord.
He prodded Yan Tuo, who was rubbing his sore back, with his tail. "Can you still give dragon little ones?"
"No." The iron-blooded founding emperor looked fragile and helpless, putting on a pitiful act. "Then will you leave me?"
Cecilith thought for three seconds and answered seriously, "No, because dragon can't give you little ones either."
He thought it over, then corrected the advice passed down from his father, right in front of Yan Tuo:
Rule One for Evil Dragons: Protect your treasure.
Rule Two for Evil Dragons: Protect Yan Tuo, the one dragon loves.

[Reading tips]
1. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending.
2. No children. The emperor is the top, and the evil dragon is the bottom.
3. It looks like the dragon kidnaps a person, but really the person kidnaps the dragon. A pure-sweet little story, probably not very long.
4. Both are head over heels for each other.
5. The setting is a bit idealized, like an ivory tower. There are no grand schemes or elaborate conspiracies. I just want to write a cute, lighthearted little story.
Theme: Even mountains and seas between us can be crossed for love
