    This is not a typical sweet romance novel with a strong female lead, and the female lead is not the male lead. It's a story about a royal guard and a delicate female lead who go from intentionally seducing each other to falling deeply in love. It's a mix of sweet and angst, and you can check it out if you're looking for something to read.
