Better to Fall in Love Than Restore the Kingdom

[A princess of a fallen kingdom × a former hostage from Xiliang]

The day Xiliang breached Chang'an, I disguised myself as a starving refugee and fled for my life.

I ended up in the arms of a Xiliang nobleman.

The Xiliang nobleman grunted, his chest rumbling.

He looked down and patted my face.

"Your Highness. What happened to your fiance?"

How the tables have turned. If only I'd treated him better back when he was a hostage in my household instead of being such a heartbreaker!

In short: A former boyfriend who has risen to power takes her by force, but the heroine has truly moved on. She no longer loves her ex.

One-on-one romance, no angst-heavy drama.

Theme: No effort is ever wasted; in the end, it flows into the sea.
