The Delicate Princess: Your Highness, Don't Be So Fierce

[The ending of this book feels far too rushed. New readers who mind that may want to skip it.] Delicate, sweet little princess + cool, domineering enemy prince [Secret romance + lust before love + emotional push and pull + falling deeper step by step + sweet and angsty] She was the least favored princess of Great Zhou. After her kingdom was defeated in battle, she was sent to the enemy nation as a hostage. He was the Crown Prince of Great Qi, The Outcast, with authority second only to the emperor and power above all others. Everyone said he was as pure and unworldly as a spring breeze and moonlight, peerlessly noble. Love at first sight, affection deepening at their next meeting: like a startled fawn, she stumbled into his heart. Though he seemed so pure and unworldly in public, in secluded corners where no one else could see, he would cast off every disguise, trap her in his arms, and obsessively draw in her scent. She thought theirs was nothing more than a transaction, but with each time he lost control and claimed her, then gently protected her, her defenses began to crumble. From being forced to pleasure him at first to later being unable to resist her feelings, they struggled through a secret romance and sank deeper amid their emotional push and pull. His domineering obsession was her calamity, while her delicate sweetness became the only cure for him.
