公主病

Think of someone who genuinely believes the world is her royal court and everyone else is staff. 'Princess Syndrome' describes a woman (or girl) with an inflated sense of entitlement — expecting to be pampered, catered to, and treated like royalty without reciprocating. In Chinese internet culture it's a sharp dig at self-centeredness in relationships and daily life, though it has also been reclaimed tongue-in-cheek by women who wear it as a badge of playful self-indulgence.

As China's middle class expanded and single-child families became the norm, critics argued that some young women grew up over-pampered. Dating culture amplified the discourse — men on forums complained about high-maintenance partners while women pushed back, arguing the label polices female self-worth. By 2023 the term lives comfortably in both sincere criticism and ironic self-description.
