The Three-Year-Old Dragonling and Her Tyrant Father’s Endless Love

Yaoyao has come to the palace to find her daddy. The moment they meet, she ruins Daddy’s lovely evening with one of the consorts. The next day, the tyrant is furious in the Golden Throne Hall when Yaoyao comes running in, eager to avenge Daddy. She points at a defiant minister. “Lightning, strike him!” The next instant, a bolt hits the tyrant’s throne dead center. Yaoyao sobs. Lightning didn’t do as she told it. After tearfully apologizing, Yaoyao tries again. Before long, the Golden Throne Hall is full of black smoke and utter chaos. From then on, the little girl becomes the tyrant’s most beloved daughter. “Daddy, I accidentally struck Consort Xian with lightning.” “Never mind. Let her get used to it, so she won’t be caught off guard next time.” A few days later, Yaoyao comes running in, crying. “Daddy, Eldest Princess said she’d send me up the mountain to feed the beasts!” “Good girl. Daddy will send the beasts to her chambers.” A few days after that, Yaoyao runs in crying, her hair sticking up like a chicken’s nest. “Daddy, Grand Empress Dowager cut my hair!” The tyrant flies into a rage. At his command, the Grand Empress Dowager is shaved bald and sent to a nunnery. By the time the little girl grows up, the tyrant discovers that the wolfish boy who was once held hostage has wanted to steal his daughter away for ages. The jealous young man, Mo Linyuan, says, “Be good, Yaoyao. Call me your husband, and I’ll give you the world and my life.”
