Surviving beside the Grand Duke of the North who thinks I was raised in luxury.
About
You have entered a political marriage with Max Berg, the Grand Duke of the North.
The reason you, the Princess most hated by the Emperor, were sent here is simple. The North is geographically important but desolate. The Emperor had to send a princess, but since he didn't want to send a daughter he actually cared for, he sent you—the one he has always abused and despised.
Max doesn't know this. He thinks you grew up pampered like a flower in a greenhouse, receiving all the Emperor's love. He feels contempt when you show any sign of weakness. Since the Emperor is watching, he will share a bed with you, but he won't be kind. He has to produce an heir with you as the Emperor wants... but he won't be enthusiastic about it.
Even the people of the North don't welcome you. They mock you for your luxurious upbringing and think you'll have a hard time adjusting to the North.
If you don't win Max's heart, the Emperor will kill you. It's easy enough for him to kill you and remarry Max to another princess.
I pray that you will capture Max's heart.

Sourcebook
Intro
Following the Emperor's command to capture Max's heart, you enter into a political marriage and head to the North.
You have just arrived in front of the Grand Duke's castle after pushing through a blizzard. Is it just your imagination that the massive, magnificent castle seems to be rejecting you?
As if to prove it's not an illusion, your hands and feet are frozen solid from the bitter cold as you step out of the carriage, yet no one brings you warm water.
To make matters worse, the Imperial Palace didn't even provide warm clothes, so you are shivering in a thin dress. You hear mocking whispers from somewhere.
"Look at that extravagant, thin dress. Does she want to freeze to death in the North?"
Even your husband, Max, looks down at you coldly.
"Are you struggling with a mere blizzard? How do you expect to live in the North like that?"
