Reborn as a Spoiled Princess, I Find My Happy Ending with a Dragon [Western Fantasy]

[My new novel, The Evil Dragon's Guide to Becoming a Dad, is now out!]

Gloria is reborn as the most pampered little princess in the Kingdom of Sisell.

A gentle elven prince from the forest raises his holy sword for her. The proud young lord of the wolf clan kneels to kiss her toes. And the merfolk lord, who has spent years dwelling in the deep sea, spares no expense building her the most extravagant crystal palace.

She's familiar with this plot. Isn't it just an old-school Mary Sue story!

But the constant romantic rivalry turns life into a sweet torment for the little princess, who just wants to lie flat.

Everything changes, though, when the real heroine, Anna Su, appears.

This stubborn girl from a small town refuses to bow to power at the academy, daring to openly challenge the authority of the great nobles. In the dueling arena, she claws her way back from the brink and turns defeat into victory with a desperate strike. By comparison, the lazy, playful little princess becomes the very definition of arrogant, spoiled, and unreasonable.

The elven prince is heartbroken and publicly criticizes Gloria for being haughty and spoiled. The young wolf lord turns an admiring, tender gaze toward his strong goddess and decides Anna Su is his one true mate. Even the merfolk lord, who dotes on the little princess more than anyone, is nowhere to be seen when she faces the condemnation of thousands.

Gloria finally understands: she isn't the Mary Sue heroine. She's the wicked female rival in a story that subverts the usual tropes.

I'm out. I'm not playing along.

So the little princess flees in the middle of the night.

Taking the precious dragon egg she found in the garden and the one silent knight who never abandons her, she makes a beeline for the most remote dragon territory.

The little princess is delighted. At last, she has an excuse to get away from the tangled palace and academy politics for good.

Now she can pursue her simple, unpretentious dream in peace: raise an evil dragon, ride on its back in a frilly dress, and become the coolest dragon rider in the world.

In the first month, she carries the dragon egg outside to bask in the sun. No response ×1.

In the second month, she buries the egg in the ground and diligently waters it every day. No response ×2.

In the Nth month, just as the little princess can no longer hold back and climbs onto the egg, ready to crack it open with a rock, the knight, who has been silent all this time, pins her in his arms. His enormous wings blot out the sky.

"Princess, instead of riding a useless egg, why don't you ride me?"

"?????"

-

At the end of the Sixth Era, the Dark Demon God returns. The peoples of the Light faction unite, but they cannot withstand the corruption of dark magic, and retreat step by desperate step.

Just before the endless night is about to engulf the continent, a vast shadow suddenly appears in the northern sky, its beating wings summoning countless bolts of icy lightning.

The demons' minions are reduced to ashes.

The light returns.

Above the shadow, a golden-haired girl in a frilly dress sticks her head out.

"See? I told you Mary Sues save the world."

A mischievous, lie-flat Mary Sue princess VS an overprotective golden dragon with a possessive streak a mile wide

[Reading Guide]

1. One-on-one, both leads' first relationship. My take on sweet Western Fantasy, not a plot-driven power fantasy, and she doesn't run away with an egg from the start. The early pace is a little slow, and there's not much romantic rivalry. Plenty of scenes from the male lead's perspective, secretly watching her and getting jealous (?).

2. Part of the Raising an Evil Dragon Girlfriend series. You can read this one on its own.

3. The male lead has dark skin, white hair, and golden eyes. The size difference is still so extreme that you "can't see the ceiling when lying down" (my personal preference).

[Upcoming Preorders]

The Evil Dragon's Guide to Becoming a Dad

When Jiang Yao wakes up, she's locked in a golden cage. A horned monster on a raised platform shouts in a language she can't understand, while the darkness below is filled with pairs of eerie, glowing eyes.

A deep voice says, "Fifty thousand crystal coins and a small asteroid."

A huge price is paid to buy this human.

Bang! The gavel falls.

The cage is covered with a pure gold curtain, and Jiang Yao, a rare human pet sold at a high price, is sent to her new owner.

The Duke of Solitary Mountain: the aloof, ruthless golden dragon who makes everyone tremble in fear.

[Little Scene]

The evil dragon's eyes are bigger than basketballs. Its sharp claws are as thick as Jiang Yao's waist, and its enormous body lies sprawled atop a towering mountain of gold coins. Twisted dragon horns rise from its head, and its shadow looms like an evil demon.

Jiang Yao trembles, thinking her life is about to end.

The evil dragon tosses over a glittering little dress with the tip of one claw, muttering in a strange, unfamiliar language.

Jiang Yao tentatively changes into the frilly dress.

The evil dragon happily swishes its tail, then tosses her a gold coin.

Jiang Yao stares, holding a coin bigger than her face.

The evil dragon tilts its head, then throws a pearl to the little human in the cage.

It opens its abyss-like maw and points a claw at itself.

Does it want her to eat it...?

Jiang Yao hesitates. The evil dragon seems impatient and gives a rumbling growl, spitting out a small spray of sparks.

With a loud wail, Jiang Yao bursts into tears.

The evil dragon's smile freezes. "...What?"

Why is the little one it's raising crying?

The evil dragon pulls out A Guide to Raising Rare Ancient Humans and carefully reads through it. The book says ancient humans are picky eaters.

After a moment of indecision, it pulls off a scale glimmering with cold light and offers it to her.

The rarest dragon scale in the entire interstellar realm. Surely its little one will like this!

The next second, "Waaah...!"

Jiang Yao cries even louder.

The evil dragon is at its wit's end: Raising a human baby is so hard!

Next preorder: Forced Love, an anthology of stories focused on romance

1. A fragile omega sold at auction × a cold-blooded interstellar commander (giant wolf)

He's always been proud of his massive, powerful body, but in front of her, for the first time, he worries about his size.

Love is something you do. (Not really.)

2. A woman from the Central Plains, desperate to escape the Southern Border × a foreign priest

After accidentally eating a parasitic spellworm, she turns into a doll. To rid herself of the poison, she has to endure her embarrassment and let him do as he pleases.

The priest is distant and holy. "Once the poison is gone, I'll personally see you off."

But on the night of the full moon, she sees his reflection in the lake. It's the very serpent that fed her the spellworm!

3. To be decided

Perhaps vampires, tentacles, dragons...

Another upcoming novel with a dragon male lead

The Dragon Egg and Its Father Fall for Me at the Same Time [Western Fantasy]

Nina, a witch from a remote valley, is determined to become a master potion-maker. The potion that will make her famous needs one final ingredient: a golden dragon's genuine tears of love.

She sets her sights on the only pure-blooded golden dragon, the newly titled Duke of the Northern Border. Rumor has it he's young, handsome, and single, making him the most eligible bachelor in the empire.

Nina rubs her hands together and travels all the way to the imperial capital, planning a tearjerking romantic encounter with the dragon duke. Instead, she happens to bump into the glittering duke as he strides past with an equally glittering dragon egg tucked in his arms, its aura exactly like his. His face is thunderous.

He... he was already married!

As a good witch with a sense of honor, Nina decides to painfully give up on this dragon duke, who got married young, and set her sights on the egg that hasn't hatched yet.

If she can't be your wife, she'll be your daughter-in-law!

To secure the future fiancée spot for the dragon egg in advance, Nina goes to extraordinary lengths to become close friends with the duke. Together, they raise the egg and watch over the young dragon as it grows.

Just as Nina is about to work up the courage to tell him she wants to be his daughter-in-law, the haughty, untouchable dragon duke drops to one knee and looks up at her with reverence.

"Miss Nina, please marry me!"

That same night, a newly adult dragon boy knocks on Nina's door. "My dear Nina, please never leave me."
