Daughter, Dad Is Actually the Dragon King

Daughter, Dad Is Actually the Dragon King Plot:

22-year-old Lin Xiaoman, just unemployed, lives in a run-down apartment with her father Lin Jianguo, a fish vendor, barely getting by. One day, her father suddenly pulls her to the back alley of the market, clutching his fish-selling apron, and says, "Daughter, I'm not crazy—I'm really the Dragon King of the East Sea." Xiaoman thinks her dad has lost his mind from rent pressure—until that night, the grass carp in their fish tank form the character "dragon" in a line, the fish in the neighborhood pond jump up and flap their tails to "greet" them, and even a "turtle prime minister" in a blue robe comes to steal the "Dragon King Pearl" that Dad has hidden for 20 years. It turns out Dad gave up the Dragon Palace throne to stay in the human world after saving Xiaoman's mother from drowning. Now the Dragon Palace is seized by traitors and needs him to return to quell the rebellion. But Dad holds Xiaoman's elementary school certificate and says, "I chose your mom back then, and now I choose my daughter." When the shrimp soldiers sent by the traitors break down the door, Xiaoman suddenly grabs her dad's fish basket—which contains dragon saliva incense that can summon dragons—and says, "Want to take Dad away? Ask me, the 'Dragon Princess', first!"
