Ji Jingyi, the Great Yin Empire's foremost cavalry general, never imagined he would encounter something so absurd and bizarre.
While escorting the princess on her marriage alliance, he was ambushed. A flash of dazzling light passed, and in the bushes he found only a tiny figure sitting on the ground.
He looked closely. Who else could it be but Princess Yin Furong?
He pressed a hand to his forehead. How had she become smaller than a sparrow...
"General..." The tiny figure's voice was faint as a mosquito's. "What do we do?"
Ji Jingyi stared at Yin Furong, who was only as tall as one of his fingers, and fell silent.
What's it like when a princess sent off in a marriage alliance turns into Thumbelina?
Ji Jingyi glanced at the purse at his waist.
Inside, Yin Furong was politely nibbling a peanut almost as big as her face. She blinked.
"General Ji, this is too hard. I want grapes."
From then on, though he was stationed at the border in harsh conditions, General Ji devoted himself every day to feeding the picky little princess.
Content warnings: The heroine will return to her original form; slice of life, little political intrigue; sweet on the outside, dark within vs. dark on the outside, sweet within; the secondary couple gets page time.
