The Dragon King’s Imperial Wrath: Falling in Love with the Bookish Princess of the Rat Clan

Princess Ruiying belongs to the Rat Clan, widely regarded as the weakest among the thirteen animal clans. When the formidable Dragon King announces his search for a bride, she is summoned to the magnificent Dragon Clan palace alongside princesses from across the realm. However, unlike her ambitious peers, Ruiying has no interest in competing for the king's affection or navigating the treacherous politics of courtship. Her sole motivation for accepting the summons is far simpler and deeply personal: she longs to explore the dragon palace's legendary library, renowned as the largest collection of books in the world. For seven days, she quietly avoids the bridal competition, dedicating her time entirely to reading in solitude among the towering shelves. Her peaceful retreat is abruptly interrupted when a strikingly handsome man from the Dragon Clan discovers her hidden away in the archives. Without warning, he leans in and kisses her, declaring that he has finally found the one he was looking for. In that single, unexpected moment, the quiet, bookish princess finds her life irrevocably transformed, setting her on an unforeseen path within the heart of the dragon palace.
