The Little One I Found Turned Out to Be the Eldest Princess

[Reclusive divine physician x battle-hardened eldest princess]

Lin Qingzhi, a reclusive physician, loves three things most in life: growing medicinal herbs, saving people, and petting lions.

The white lion cub at Lin Qingzhi's home, Qiuqiu, is one she picked up on a snowy night.

Everyone says Lin Qingzhi has raised a menace, but they don't know...

The treacherous court official who mysteriously dropped dead was scratched by Qiuqiu in the night.

The prince from an enemy kingdom came to provoke them, only to be sent flying with one swipe of Qiuqiu's paw.

And the hooligans who coveted Lin Qingzhi were so terrified of Qiuqiu that they wet themselves and fled.

Lin Qingzhi always thought her little cub was simply blessed with extraordinary talent. Then one day, the eldest princess returns at the head of one hundred thousand imperial guards and kneels before her on one knee in full view of the world. Fluffy lion ears and a tail sway atop her silver armor, making Lin Qingzhi's heart itch.

"A Zhi." The eldest princess takes Lin Qingzhi's hand and presses a reverent kiss to it. "I will sheathe my fangs and claws for you alone. May I pet you now?"

The next moment, Lin Qingzhi is held fast in the embrace of those bloodstained hands. The eldest princess's scorching breath falls against her ear, her voice possessive yet plaintive. "A Zhi, the whole world is mine now. So you are mine, too."
