She was the Celestial Court’s most stubborn child—banished at four for breaking a divine taboo and stripped of her powers. Sent to a drought-bitten village with a broken house and a headstrong grin, she refuses to play the wounded heroine. She punches bullies, heals poisoned elders with a stolen herb, and drags corrupt officials into the mud. But the one she beat in heaven was the Dragon Court’s favorite son. The dragon king wants a lifetime’s retribution, and the world above quietly prepares to punish a child who still remembers everything. So she adopts a stubborn speaking serpent, steals a green-mossed egg, drags a ramshackle family into safety — and starts counting the small, furious favors that will buy every inch of her return. This is about a fallen princess who treats exile like a playground and turns every insult into a ledger. Sweet little fists, savage justice, and a growing list of enemies who will wish they had never worried a child.
