To survive, the Demon King kidnapped the human princess, young Lillian.
According to his plan, he would imprison her in a tower, break her spirit, turn her against her own people, and raise her to become the demons' greatest trump card.
The ideal was grand, but reality was harsh.
The impoverished demons served their best beetle rice, but the fragile human baby nearly died on the spot.
To make sure their trump card grew up safely, the demons had no choice but to work hard.
When Lillian wanted fruit, the demons stole saplings and spent all night figuring out how to grow them.
When Lillian wanted milk, the demons stole a cow, opened up a pasture, and played it music.
When Lillian wanted to stroll in a garden, the demons busied themselves building one and even stole a batch of butterflies.
The demons were at their wits' end. "Boss, can we really survive by stealing like this?"
The Demon King offered a little guidance. "She hasn't even grown up yet, and we've already stolen a whole city."
The demons said, "So once she grows up, we'll be able to steal the whole world!"
The Demon King: ...
Their intelligence was worrying.

Lillian was the kingdom's only princess, with three older brothers who doted on her.
Her eldest brother ascended the throne and was buried in state affairs, growing thinner by the day.
Her second brother waged wars and quelled rebellions, exhausted from constant travel, growing thinner by the day.
Her third brother was the chosen hero, hunting down monsters and growing thinner by the day.
Young Lillian knew that when she grew up, she too would end up sacrificing herself for her country and people, growing thinner by the day.
But no one knew that Lillian dreamed of having a garden of her own and a group of adorable animals, and of living happily ever after, just like in a fairy tale.
Then one day, she followed a strange fellow with horns to a secluded place cut off from the world.
The land was barren and the conditions poor. The food and drink were awful, and even sleeping was hard. But the place was home to a group of people with unusual appearances.
Some had horns, some had long ears, and some were covered in fur...
Ah, was this paradise?
ps: There is a male lead. No romance while underage.
