Chapter 1
"Other World Royal Odyssey" is a flopped novel from a certain major shounen website. The entire novel is built on jumping on the bandwagon of what’s in trend—its pages are filled with clichéd tropes and overdone plots and scenarios. For instance, the story begins with the protagonist's family falling into decline, and his fianceé, Princess Kris kicking up a fuss, insistent on breaking off the engagement, giving the protagonist a huge blow and humiliation. All these elements served as motivation for the protagonist to become stronger while planting a deep-rooted resentment in him against the woman who added insult to injury when he and his family were at their lowest.
It’s just your typical "engagement breakup" trope. When the first novel used such a trope, it could still be considered amazing and a classic, but by the time it got to "Other World Royal Odyssey", readers could more or less guess the plot after reading the intro, so naturally few bothered to continue reading. Consequently, it was only a matter of course that this book flopped.
With no readers, the author also lost the motivation to continue writing, and the book was as good as abandoned. The author only later added a line to the synopsis: "I promise you that the protagonist will become very, very powerful, beyond your imaginations; someone who is even stronger than any novel system that exists currently!"
Unfortunately for Ding Sheng—who knew what kind of luck he had—he transmigrated into said flop of a book and became the biggest female cannon fodder, the little princess Kris.
He was utterly dumbfounded. Even flops had readers and Ding Sheng was one of them. Thus, he knew just how wildly this little princess ran down the path of self-destruction. After breaking off their engagement, she would become attracted to the protagonist when he demonstrated his immense strength and potential. Eventually, her love would turn into hatred, and she even harmed Sherry, who was considered the first female lead based on the current serialised plot. This would lead to her being mercilessly frozen at the bottom of the ice lake by the protagonist, unable to die while her senses are subjected to the biting cold, day in and day out.
However, there was still hope.
After Ding Sheng realised that he had transmigrated, he probed around and figured out where they were in the story—everything was still salvageable because Kris had yet to break off her engagement.
Good, good… As a seasoned reader of "engagement breakup" novels, he knew that as long as he insisted on not breaking off the engagement, everything would be fine.
Based on his many years of experience in reading novels, he knew that in these male-oriented novels, any female character with the label, “protagonist’s woman” plastered on her would never be seriously injured. Even if they were hurt or wronged, the protagonist would immediately be there to save the day.
However, there was just one very critical problem—
At no point in the story, even till the point the little princess was sealed at the bottom of the ice lake, did the author ever mention that she was actually a man disguised as a woman!
Ding Sheng didn’t know whether to feel relieved or distressed that he was still a man.
However, regardless of his gender, his principle remained the same—I will never call off this engagement!
Super duper cute short story from the author of After Brushing Face At The Apocalypse’s Boss For 363 Days" So if you enjoyed that, I think you'd like this one too ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ I used to read this story once every night before going to bed like a true fairytale hehe (,, . ̫. ,,)
I'd also like to seek your understanding if the pronouns for Ding Sheng/Kris are a bit confusing because technically, he should be a guy but on the surface he still has to use female pronouns and even the author is a little willy nilly with it (πーπ)
sidenote: I wonder if the "major shounen website" is a certain Q*dian 🌝
If you don't mind, it'd be nice if you can rate this novel on NU if you've enjoyed it so far!! ( ̧⸝⸝⍢⸝⸝)ෆ
