[Blurb updated 2025/6/18]
Rosa was reborn as the king's youngest son.
He thought this was a fresh start. But he soon discovered that no one in this family was normal.
The king, his father, was a brute who knew how to wage war but not how to govern a country.
The queen, his mother, was a fanatical devotee of the God of Death, claiming that the god had brought her two most beloved children into the world.
The crown prince, his eldest brother, was a cold-hearted, ambitious man with a black heart beneath his charming facade, who longed to indulge himself and expand the kingdom's borders.
Of the three, the king would die in a carefully arranged assassination; the queen would die at a trial; and after briefly enduring humiliation, Rosa's brother would become a tyrannical, autocratic dictator.
After the king's death, the queen secretly entrusted Rosa to her trusted minister, concealing his identity so he could grow up in safety. Years later, the minister's family would stand against the tyrant, raise the banner of justice, overthrow him, end the old royal dynasty, and become the next tyrants, ushering in yet another era of misery for the people!
According to his original fate, the fostered Rosa would shut himself away in sorrow and confinement, grow estranged from the minister's children and even come to hate them, then ultimately die while avenging his brother.
But the mysterious Beauty Training Simulator changed everything.
When Rosa was sent to the minister's household, he had yet to meet anyone. He sat alone in a dark room, consumed by grief over the king's death, praying that his mother and brother would find the real culprit.
That was when a notification suddenly rang out in his mind.
[Beauty Training Simulator activated!]
[Checking date of birth, bloodline, fate, and talents... Check complete!]
[Initial attributes: Stamina 45, Intelligence 26, Self-Esteem 25, Morality 20, Bearing 20, Empathy 33, Martial Arts 19, Magic 42]
[The simulator determines that a true beauty must be more than merely invincibly beautiful. Therefore, the final Charm value is calculated by combining all attributes.]
[Current Charm: 28.75]
[Task: Please read The 380 Requirements for Taming Dragons from cover to cover within one week.]
[Completion reward: All initial attributes +1]
[Bonus reward: 1 simulated teaching scenario, shifting the queen's fate by 1%]
[Note: In a simulated scenario, you can play your own role and use the simulation to predict future events, but you must complete the assigned task.]
And so, in the simulated scenarios, Rosa earned achievements such as [Love and Hatred Between Rivals], [You Are Always Too Close to the Devil], [The Empire's Cherished Moonlight], and [The Entire Court Bows Before You].
When his Charm finally reached an astonishing level, even earning the simulator's approval, Rosa was finally willing to face this ambitious world.
After spending five years without leaving his room, he finally stepped outside. His frame had grown straight as a pine, his limbs had become long and elegant, his red hair had grown lustrous, and his skin had become smooth and radiant...
He was well-read, cultured, virtuous, unshakable, untouchable, and impossible to tempt...
Before he knew it, he had achieved the true ending: [Everyone Is Bewitched by You].
Only then did Rosa discover that, to everyone else, the simulator's scenarios had been unforgettable dreams.
Both nightmares and wet dreams.

★ A Renaissance-style tribute to the Princess Maker games I loved playing as a child, along with all kinds of life-simulation games. Although I grew uncomfortable with some of their storylines as I got older, I still miss them so much!
★ The dragon-taming elements are partly inspired by Game of Thrones.
★ There won't really be any gods in this story. At most, the God of Death will be mentioned by name.
★ Dragons aren't the only strange creatures. There will be others too, still to be decided.
Theme: The road is long, so stay true to yourself.
