The Villainous Princess: The Hostage Prince Loves and Hates Her

[Cold and unfeeling princess × hostage who both loves and hates her]

From the very beginning, their relationship is built on mutual exploitation. Pei Yuan deliberately approaches her only to achieve his own aims.

Gu Ci seems soft-hearted and indulgent, but she has never lowered the blade held to his throat.

Outside the city gates, he stakes everything they have shared day and night on winning a little compassion from her. She answers by showing him a blade and making her position clear.

“Gu Ci, you’ll never get rid of me in this lifetime. Never!”

Gu Ci assumes that when they meet again, he’ll want nothing more than to kill her.

So why does he keep “biting” at her like a dog?

Why won’t he let her go?

(PS: The male lead was deceived in body and heart. His resentment comes down to hating that the female lead doesn’t love him. Happy ending, devoted leads, one-on-one.)

Note: The female lead is a villainess and will never learn to be kind and magnanimous. The setting is entirely fictional, with no historical accuracy intended.
