    Cold-blooded tyrant vs. Aloof female official [Sending heart] I recently stumbled upon a serialized ancient romance novel. The male lead is a ruthless emperor with an extremely strong possessive streak. The female lead is the daughter of a prime minister of a vassal state. Disguised as a man, she serves as an official. When her own country suffers a severe famine, she is forced to travel alone to an enemy country to beg for food. The male lead has long been obsessed with her, using food supplies to manipulate her while simultaneously feeling sorry for her suffering from prolonged hunger. The contrast between the characters is portrayed quite realistically.

The author's work doesn't focus on the romance between the male and female leads. The female lead is a cunning beauty, always clear-headed.
