But when she opened her eyes again, her whole world had changed. She was no longer in her apartment but in a forest, surrounded by many people wearing clothes made of animal skin. Seeing all this, Genia was shocked, and when she tried to move, she realised that her hands and legs were tied and she could not move at all. Genia could not understand what was happening. Just a while ago, she was sleeping comfortably in her apartment, but how did she come here to the forest, and why have these people tied her up like this? Before she could think about anything, some memories started flashing in her mind. When she looked at all those memories, she realised that she was no longer in her apartment, her city and her world but had come to some other world, some other country and someone else's body. She could not understand that she was alive, so how did she enter someone else's body? However, right now she had more to do with saving herself than thinking about it, as she entered the world of a Beastman, a female Rabbit Tribe member with the same name as hers And what was worse was that her own family members handed her over to a man who belonged to a tribe that was rumored to be the most cruel and they hired a female from the Rabbit Tribe to be their child. But the Rabbit Tribe did not want to send any of their females to that person, but they also could not afford to anger that person. Therefore, the people of the Rabbit Tribe sent Genia to that person because, according to them, Genia could not be of any use to them.

Shoved into the backseat of his father's car right after graduation, Riley Hale ended up marching toward a company building with a bagged lunch and a pen. Still in his toga, the fresh graduate never thought he’d land in the office of the continent’s top lizard, err, dragon, as his aide. And that would’ve driven any person wishing for a corporate career to tears. After all, who wouldn’t want to serve the fastest ticket up the corporate ladder: Kael Dravaryn, the infamously elegant, unhinged, and extremely overpowered Dragon Lord of the continent? Well, that would be Riley. The same Riley who didn’t expect to spend his days dodging fireballs, dressing his boss in robes more complicated than dark magic, and serving as a literal target during morning sparring. Now trapped in a job he never truly agreed to, the hardworking aide decided to hold out until it was time for his glorious resignation. But leaving a dragon’s clutches could never be easy, especially one with elemental mastery and a finger worth a private army. Yet, as Riley, who longs to quit, attempts to navigate ancient politics, wyvern threats, and other accidents (many of which are definitely not his fault), he might just hallucinate himself into seeing something beneath his boss’s arrogance and molten glares. Maybe he’d actually care if Riley got turned to ash.
