Her Highness The Princess Comes from A Thousand Years Ago

Synopsis: 

Shen Yanbing’s life had always been painfully uneventful. She went through school, found a job, and fell in love, following the expected path every step of the way. The boldest thing she had ever done was come out for the woman she loved—only for that woman to end up becoming her ex-girlfriend.

And yet, on the very day they broke up, Shen Yanbing found an ancient princess in her bathtub.

—One dressed in a brilliant red wedding gown, complete with a phoenix coronet and embroidered bridal robes.

What should one do when faced with a supernatural incident?

Shen Yanbing, a good, law-abiding citizen: Call the police, of course, and turn her over to the authorities!

But it was late at night, pouring rain, and the verification procedures were painfully complicated.

Then there were Her Highness’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes, filled with bewilderment and restrained unease.

Shen Yanbing: “…Forget it. I’ll deal with that later.”

And so began Shen Yanbing’s journey of raising a princess in the modern world.

The princess was dignified and impeccably polite, so Shen Yanbing took her out for karaoke and taught her how to let loose.

The princess wanted to learn how to cook, so Shen Yanbing introduced her to instant meals and food delivery.

The princess wanted to see the country’s magnificent mountains and rivers, so Shen Yanbing had her curl up on the sofa and watch them on television.

Shen Yanbing: “Everything I do is for your own good.”

Her Highness the Princess: “…I believe you.”

Then one day, Shen Yanbing suddenly discovered that the princess was not some ordinary, delicate little royal.

Her sweet-on-the-outside, calculating-on-the-inside princess gazed at her through misty almond-shaped eyes. “Do you not want me anymore?”

Shen Yanbing: “…Stop pretending.”

A heartwarming, sweet story about an ancient princess arriving in the modern world. Lighthearted, slow-burning, and focused on everyday life.
