Sybil Loveck wants vengeance.
The Crooked Prince took everything from her. Her kingdom. Her throne. Even the lives of those she loved.
He wants to get rid of all those like her; those with the power to wield fire.
Because fire does not belong in his kingdom of Ice.
Hunted and on the run, Sybil and those left of her Crowned Court plan a rebellion to overthrow the Prince.
But what happens when Sybil realizes that more is at stake then just her need for revenge. What will she do when she falls down the slippery slope paved by the betrayal and lies of those she thought she could trust... Those she thought she could love.
Nobody can by trusted in the Frozen World they all live in; it is far too cold and far too unforgiving.

Emperor And I ✔️
To the country she was born to, she is Princess Le-Anne, the king's illegitimate daughter hidden in the shadows. To the empire she is sold to, she is Lady Wei Li Lian, a traitorous spy sent to infiltrate an enemy throne. But who is she really? Gifted with rare beauty and keen intelligence, Li Lian once desired nothing more than a peaceful, ordinary life. She dreamed of traveling distant lands and living freely, far away from politics and power. That fragile dream shattered the moment her estranged royal father finally noticed her existence. To him, she was not a daughter, but a tool. She was given one mission. Enter the enemy empire of Nevoria. Seduce its emperor. Survive the harem. Become empress. And hand the empire to her homeland. From a young age, she trained relentlessly in etiquette, strategy, and deception. She learned how to smile while scheming, how to walk through danger without leaving a trace. She would maneuver through the Nevorian court, evade the vipers of the inner palace, send secret missives in the dead of night, and climb her way to the phoenix throne. It should have been simple. So why did no one warn her? The greatest threat was never the harem, but the emperor himself. Cold, inscrutable, and merciless, he ruled with an iron fist and revealed nothing of his thoughts. Every encounter between them felt like a silent confrontation, where one misstep could lead to quiet destruction. Those eyes of his held no warmth, only sharp calculation, as if he had already seen through every lie she told herself. _____________________________ Cover By Ei_DaisukiComplete
