This story was written for the Open Novella Contest 2020, but it got too long.

Prompt:- To escape her abusive parents, a princess dresses up as male vigilante to protect her kingdom but soon catches feelings for her own 'damsel in distress',  who knows nothing of her royal blood and true identity.

Genre :- Fantasy

Blurb:-   Princess YiJuan has never fit anywhere, that is, till she saves Weredragel, an ancient magical creature. Now a manly youth with a sharp sword, sharper tongues, and a brand new (unimaginative) name, Lan YiJun, she embarks on a journey that she never expected to make.

Princess YiJuan was a captive in her own home. When her abusive uncle and aunt (the current king and queen of Dezhutang) arrange her marriage to the queen's nephew, she resigns to her fate. Unexpectedly, however, she escapes while on her way to meet her would-be husband.

While on the run, she meets Weredra, who grants her two wishes: to help those who can't help themselves and find true love.

Complications arise when one of the wishes turns her into a man, and shortly after, she saves a drowning man and falls in love with him at first sight. To make matters worse, the man is suffering from amnesia.

Will YiJuan be able to put an end to the atrocities committed by her uncle and aunt?

Will Zhan, the man she has fallen for, accept her now that she was a man?
Will the three strangers find the meaning of home in each other?
