After Picking Up a Stunning Doll Princess

Gong Zelan found a doll.

The doll possessed extraordinary beauty, eighteen kinds of skills, and an innocent naivety that knew almost nothing about society.

Gong Zelan kept the doll at home and cared for her like a younger sister. She worked hard to earn money for the best replacement parts, and even readily agreed when the doll said she wanted to sleep in her soft bed.

So Gong Zelan couldn't understand why, one day, she would be imprisoned by the doll, locked in a tiny space while the doll spoke of her crazed possessiveness.

Only later did Gong Zelan learn that the doll she had found was called Meiyan Ji, a powerful imperial machine built specifically for assassination.

Meiyan Ji had countless deaths on her hands. She disappeared during an assassination and was never heard from again.

The world plunged into chaos once more. She appeared out of nowhere and single-handedly crushed the rebellion.

The outside world was awash in bloodshed. Humanity trembled before an army of mechanical dolls, but the army's supreme commander walked toward the crowd, knelt on one knee, and held out her hand to one person.

"I've come to take you home, my master."

Bonus scene:

Meiyan Ji's original design was vulgar: she was meant to kill enemies through sex. Gong Zelan repeatedly upgraded her, awakened her self-awareness, and gave her a proper name.

And so,

The general who fought without blinking on the training grounds by day, striking fear into the entire empire, often wore a little bunny apron to bake bread and gently called Gong Zelan over to taste it.

At night, she would tremble in restraint in Gong Zelan's arms, willingly opening herself again and again to pour out all the love in her heart.

"I hate humans, but I love you."

"Only you."
