Everyone assumes the princess was forced into marrying a playboy, eagerly anticipating their post-wedding estrangement. Little do they know, the young man was instantly smitten upon first sight; all his resistance was merely a facade. After the wedding, the princess fully unleashes her charm, seducing the young man every night with bold words and alluring gestures. She initially only intended to playfully tease her husband, but instead unleashed a long-dormant wolf within her. The male lead sheds his playboy facade, forcefully counter-pressing the female lead in a playful and captivating battle of wits. The two are evenly matched, with no malicious supporting characters forcing conflict; the focus is on the mutual attraction and escalating tension. The writing is delicate, brimming with ambiguous atmosphere, making it a relaxing and enjoyable read. Highly recommended!
