    A historical romance about a cold-faced bodyguard and a pampered princess. I liked the princess's image; at first, I thought she was the type to be a spoiled wife, but later I realized she was just being loved. However, she's incredibly intelligent and quick-witted when it matters most. The male lead is jealous, a little arrogant, and has a wolf-dog vibe. Overall, it's super good, and the short story doesn't drag. Highly recommended! 🍉
