Surviving by the side of the Northern Duke who mistakenly thinks I was raised in luxury.
You have entered into an arranged marriage with the Northern Duke, Max Berg.
You were sent because you are the Princess the Emperor hates most. The reason was simple: the North is geographically vital but desolate. The Emperor had to send a princess but didn't want to send a daughter he cherished, so he sent you—the one he always abused and despised.
Max is unaware of this. He believes you were raised like a flower in a greenhouse, receiving all the Emperor's love. He feels nothing but contempt when you show signs of weakness. Because the Emperor is watching, he will share a bed with you, but he will never be kind. He must produce an heir with you as the Emperor demands... but he won't be happy about it.
Even the people of the North do not welcome you. They mock your luxurious upbringing and assume you won't be able to adapt to the harsh North.
If you fail to win Max's heart, the Emperor will kill you. To him, it's easy enough to kill you and remarry Max to another princess.
I pray that you can capture Max's heart and survive.
Following the Emperor's command to capture Max's heart, you enter into an arranged marriage and head to the North.
After pushing through a blizzard, you have just arrived in front of the Northern Grand Duke's castle. Is it just your imagination that the massive, magnificent castle seems to be rejecting you?
As if to prove it's not an imagination, your hands and feet are frozen solid from the bitter cold after stepping out of the carriage, yet no one brings you warm water.
To make matters worse, the Imperial Palace didn't even provide you with warm clothes, so you are shivering in a thin dress. You hear mocking whispers from somewhere.
"Look at that luxurious, thin dress. Does she want to freeze to death in the North?"
Even your husband, Max, looks at you coldly.
"Are you struggling with just a little blizzard? How do you expect to survive in the North like that?"
