Business tycoon Ruan Xingzhou, face blank as ever, ponders for a moment and then decides: Get him! Get him hard! After rushing back to China following his father’s funeral, Ruan Xingzhou, who suffers from emotional apathy, didn’t expect that a normal overtime session would result in… a dragon. Standing next to it, he barely reached the dragon’s head. Having lived over twenty years with a blank emotional slate, President Ruan was so startled he immediately blushed! Poker-face Zhou: My heart’s beating so fast! I must like him! Qian Ji (the dragon): …… Believing firmly in “if you like it, chase it,” President Ruan doesn’t care about anything else — he decides to go after him! Form a bond with him! Cuddle him! Launch a surprise night attack! Whisper cheesy pickup lines! Not long after, rumors spread among the little monsters: The only dragon left in the demon realm married a human who’s poker-faced, dead-eyed, and blurts out cringey pickup lines without warning! What kind of madness is this?! Years later. Little Dragon Cub: Mama, who chased who first? Poker-face Ruan: Of course your dad chased me! I’m so cute, so sweet, so good at acting spoiled, and I’m rich too! Qian Ji: ………… Little Dragon Cub: …Mama. Poker-face Ruan: Hmm?

## My Thoughts on A Dragon Lies Hidden Alright, let's dive into "A Dragon Lies Hidden." I went in expecting one thing and got something quite different, which, honestly, isn't always a bad thing. This novel is a bit of a rollercoaster, and I'm here to tell you about the ride. ### First Impressions Initially, the story sets a relatively serious tone. I thought I was settling in for a classic fantasy romance with maybe a bit of slice-of-life sprinkled in. The early chapters establish a certain atmosphere, hinting at a more profound, perhaps even angsty, narrative. However, that expectation quickly shifts. ### What Works Well The comedy is definitely a highlight. The story leans heavily into humor, and it works surprisingly well. The characters are fun, and the situations they find themselves in are often absurd, leading to genuinely funny moments. The writing itself is solid; it's easy to read and keeps you engaged. The translation is also well-done, which is always a huge plus. I especially enjoyed the dynamic between the MC and ML. The MC's personality undergoes a noticeable shift when the ML is around, which adds a layer of sweetness and lightheartedness to the story. It's endearing to see the MC's softer side emerge. ### Areas of Concern While the lightheartedness is a strength, it also asks you to suspend your disbelief quite a bit. Logic sometimes takes a backseat to comedic effect, so if you're someone who needs everything to make perfect sense, this might not be your cup of tea. You definitely need to be willing to turn off your brain and just enjoy the ride. Also, I think the initial tags could be updated to better reflect the content, especially the comical aspects. ### Final Verdict Overall, "A Dragon Lies Hidden" is an enjoyable read if you're looking for something light, funny, and a bit unconventional. Don't go in expecting a super serious, deeply logical fantasy. Instead, embrace the absurdity, enjoy the humor, and let yourself get swept away by the developing relationship between the MC and ML. It's a fun, easy read that's perfect for when you need a good laugh. I'd give it a solid recommendation, just be prepared for a different kind of dragon tale than you might expect!
