Palace Tragedy: The Political Marriage Princess Steals His Favor and His Heart

[Palace Intrigue] [Alternate History] [Not Both Virgins] [No Saintly Heroine] [Fights Back Against Everyone]

She is the Ninth Princess of Xiling, adored by all.

But after Xiling suffers a crushing defeat, the Emperor of Dasheng names her as the bride sent to secure a marriage alliance.

When she first enters the imperial palace of Dasheng, she thinks she must guard against suspicion and schemes for the emperor's favor.

What she doesn't know is that the emperor has already quietly taken her to heart.

She never hopes to be his sole favorite. She only wishes to preserve the smoke rising from the kitchens of her homeland.

As they spend year after year together,

affection takes root before either of them realizes it.

How can she hold on to her clarity and keep from being ensnared by love in the depths of the palace?

But the peace maintained by their marriage alliance will eventually crumble.

When war flares up again along the border,

she, caught between two nations, has long since lost control of her own fate...

"I've known you far longer than you think."

"Your Majesty asks for my true feelings, but I would never dare to distinguish even the slightest thing from them."

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid I harbor disloyal intentions?"

"I trust you, and I'll wager you can't bear to do it."

"Didn't you want revenge? I'll give you the chance."

"A Yuan, you're still too softhearted."

My first work is finally here. I'll do my best to tell every story well!
