A Handbook for Raising the Heir

Rumor had it that the young heir in the capital was spoiled and overbearing. The moment she returned to the city, she found out for herself. Then the emperor decreed their marriage, binding them together. No matter: he was an uneducated wastrel, so she would teach him herself; he couldn't read, so she would find him a tutor; he was too weak to even truss a chicken, so she would turn him into a martial arts prodigy. But when the country faced danger, he agreed to go far away to the Northern Kingdom as a hostage. She ignored the cruel words he said and went alone to save him from peril. “It's only the Northern Kingdom. I'll cripple its economy.” “It's only the Northern Kingdom. I'll make sure it never invades our borders again.” P.S. This is definitely a sweet romance, with a devoted, always-together couple. The heroine is strong, and so is the hero, though he takes a while to grow into his strength!
