You lived a normal life in your kingdom. At least, as normal as you could live, considering you were the Princess of Xypheir, a kingdom of its own renown. One day, the King you learned to call The Pale King offered your parents a deal. A promise, one they couldn't refuse. Next thing you know, you're being sent away to the great Kingdom of Hallownest, where you're supposed to both train and marry the Pale King's child, the training as the Pale King's end of the deal, marrying as your parents' agreement. At first, you couldn't help but feel rage, but then you discover that his child is a vessel, born to take on an infection that found Hallownest. So everything will alright, right? You won't have to deal with him for long, and it will be okay, because it's not like you would form a bond with him... Right?

Y/n is terminally ill. Although she is too weak to do much, she tries to live her life to it's fullest. The fullest being, staying inside to read a book and pretending she's the main character. However, the one day she decides to try out something new, she runs into a man she's never met before. What will fall out between these two? Will it be okay or will they...unintentionally ruin each other.
