(Novel complete) First of all, it's a good novel, not great, but good. The reason why I didn't give the novel a higher score is that the author lost her way in the storyline and development after Xiaolu's trip to the desert. There were of course good chapters in between, but most of them were fillers that didn't bring the story forward or did it justice. Major characters were either forgotten or barely mentioned again, insignificant filler characters took up a lot of the chapters and the romance between the MC and ML just fell flat and basically through the crack after endless chapters of romantic anticipation. I applaud the author for not giving up the novel, I really do (though the last 200 chapters or so sure felt like it). But I feel somewhat indignant and frustrated in regard to the ending; the entire novel was like peak, peak, peak, boom, flat...- kind of feeling.

Thank you, you just saved me another couple of days. My biggest peeve with some novels these days is forgetting to finish main storyline and characters arcs aswell as not investing any time into the romance. Definitely did me a favour reading your review so thanks again!

I think you just saved me a lot of time. I’m not liking how unintelligent and weak the family always is and was wondering whether or not to power through.

The Cursed Tyrant and His Reluctant Queen

Why does the King want to take the daughter of a country noble as his bride? Aren't there so many other women more qualified to marry him??? It has been a few months since the second Prince conquered the throne through a path of blood. One of his first decrees states he will marry the daughter of Duke Bursio, Veronica. Yet, the girl is more than unwilling. And not only because of the ferocious reputation of the young tyrant. She has a secret to keep, and becoming the Queen of Alba would be a risk she's reluctant to take. She is the Princess of Mages. Her powers shall be hidden, for the church persecutes anyone with some affinity with magical arts. Avoiding the King's orders is impossible until she comes up with a plan: she can't get married twice, right? As such, she just has to find another man that will accept her and perform the sacred ceremony before the King has the chance to get his hands on her. The guard at her door, Ignis, seems just the perfect person. They knew each other as children, and this unexpected reunion looks like the last opportunity fate has to offer. WARNING: smut. The cover is mine. Don't use it without permission. *** From the story: I bend lower, approaching his lips. I keep a close distance from our mouths so that they don't touch, but not enough to avoid my breath tickling him when I talk. «Can you swear you won't complain no matter what I do?» «I can. I won't fight back against you, Veronica. I swear it on my honour and my life.» «That's so tempting, you know? Letting me do whatever I want...» I pull the side of the shirt apart, detaching the two buttons I forgot to undo. «Are you sure I'm a little lamb who won't take advantage of your offer?» I place a digit on his chest, making sure he feels the nail pressing. Since he doesn't react, I scratch him. Not too deep, just enough to make him realise I'm not joking. No reaction at all. Not even a frown. Not a single word. «Oh, I'm ready to test your honour tonight,» I whisper, dragging my hand on his stomach. *** Chat with the author!
