The Years I Was Everyone's Darling

Blurb 1: Shen Jiu is the five-year-old daughter of a shopkeeper in the southern part of town. Her life is comfortable and carefree, until her mother falls seriously ill. Before she dies, she tells Shen Jiu that she isn’t an ordinary human. Her father is actually a direct descendant of the Yinglong clan, and he and her human mother had Shen You after an accident.

After her mother dies, the Yinglong clan senses what has happened and brings the human child Shen Jiu back to the dragon clan.

Unfortunately, the Yinglong clan cares most about bloodline. Her father is indifferent to his mixed-blood daughter, her eldest senior brother is perfunctory and polite, her second senior brother looks down on her, and the whole clan dislikes Shen Jiu, a human child. On top of that, an adopted daughter with far superior talent and bloodline is watching her like a hawk...

Shen Jiu rolls up her sleeves, showing off her chubby little arms. “...Fine, I’ll win them over one by one.”

Later...

Her cold, stone-faced father: “Jiujiu isn’t mixed-blood at all. She’s clearly her father’s precious darling!”

Her stern, serious eldest senior brother: “Jiujiu is so adorable. How could she possibly have bad intentions?”

Her second senior brother, who thinks he’s above everyone else: “Whatever happens, it’s everyone else’s fault. Our Jiujiu could never be wrong!”

The entire Yinglong clan agrees: “Human children are irresistible!”

Blurb 2: Before long, Shen Jiu, the human child, becomes famous throughout the three realms. The unpredictable Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm, curious to see her for himself, seizes the Yinglong clan’s precious darling... In the end, it takes the mysterious and powerful grandmaster who lives in the back mountain to get Shen Jiu back.

Shen Jiu likes the grandmaster from the back mountain, whose radiance rivals the sun and moon, most of all. She hates the Demon Venerable, who did whatever he pleased and abducted her when she was young.

Until one day... she realizes in horror that they are actually the same person...
