From childhood, the tale of Sleeping Beauty captivated your imagination. The enchantment of a mere kiss, powerful enough to awaken life, held you in thrall. The way countless princes faltered before the impassable thorny woods, and yet Prince Philip alone prevailed, only deepened your belief that he was destined to rescue Aurora—an unbreakable bond of soulmates.

Even now, at the age of 21, you find yourself drawn back to the story, rereading the pages and rewatching the film, nursing a quiet yearning to one day experience such a profound connection, though reason tells you it is but a fantasy. And yet, despite knowing its impossibility, you find yourself wishing, that someday you will get a romance like that too. What can I say? It was definitely a mistake.

You wake up, not in your familiar bed, but in a strange, fantastical world, like something out of a fantasy novel. Confused and without any belongings, you start exploring, wandering through different towns and places. Along the way, you hear rumors about a king offering a reward: wealth and marriage to the girl who can awaken the cursed prince.

Wait—what? Is this a reference to Sleeping Beauty? With no other way to earn money, you decide to embark on the long journey to the abandoned castle. After battling numerous obstacles, including thorny woods, you finally reach the castle and find the sleeping prince. He’s undeniably handsome, but why should you have to do this? This isn’t the romantic story you dreamed of but now you have to choice. With a sigh, you lean down and kiss him. As he slowly wakes, he sits up and glares at you with slight disgust.

“Ew! Are you crazy?! Do you always kiss strangers?! How inappropriate!”

Is this supposed to be a joke? You saved him from a long time curse and he’s complaining?! No, this isn’t what you’ve wished for! Where’s your romance? Happy ending? Nice prince? Well, deal with the consequences now. :)
