Imagine this, life is peaceful until one day, the neighboring kingdom declares war with your own kingdom. Your father, the king, is very ill and at the verge of his death. Cherry on top of a not-so-nice life cake, you are forced into an arranged marriage with a guy who is behind you only for your name.

Well, that's what Sophia is facing.

Sophia isn't some Disney Princess waiting for her Prince Charming. She is a rebellious, flawed princess and is willing to wait for the right person who actually deserves her. She loves her father and her deceased mother dearly.

She knew she'd get in trouble for running away and will eventually have to come back being the only heir to the kingdom. She definitely isn't interested in marrying Thomas, but if he was planning to force her, she too wouldn't wed him until giving him a hell for his asshole-y ness. Not until he realizes his mistakes and becomes a better person.

Not everyone gets to marry the person they love, some times they need to love the person they marry, given that the other is also willing to make efforts.

Maybe marrying Thomas won't be so horrible. Maybe he can become a better person. Maybe.

"That isn't how we work..." Tired, vulnerable and agitated at not only him, but herself. How could she let herself get this far, in such little time? He looked down, ashamed, not wanting to respond.

To Sophia, moving to a new town was everything she imagined and more. She just didn't expect her past to follow.

She'll ready, she's focused, and she'll jump through every hoop the contest entails if there's a chance to help her struggling family. As for love....it's the last thing on her mind! She's made of stone! Haha! In other words...yes, will definitely fall in love (sigh), but what will she do when the love goes against every aspect of her contest-winning plan?
