Some people believe that the more you hate a person, the more that you love them. It may seem that you cannot stand their presence, but whenever they are not beside you, you yearn for them. This is to be proven by a young married couple who were forced to love each other for the sake of the Kingdom, to preserve its tradition, and for the monarchy to continue after ruling for hundreds of years.
Meet Aynie Castro, your typical 19-year old. She is stubborn, easily loses her patience, loves to eat sweets & fried chicken, and is obsessed with boy bands. Her husband, Prince Harry, is charming, a known chick-magnet, and Aynie's number one sworn enemy.
Even with all the perks of being a princess- including a wide range of gowns, dresses, jewelry, and a fridge full of goodies, she wasn't enthralled. After all, their marriage was kept a secret and both of them prefers it to stay that way until they can introduce Aynie to the world on her 21st birthday.
With Harry seeing Aynie as a bother to the throne, and with Aynie seeing Harry as an arrogant man, will they be able to learn to love each other?
Join Aynie and Harry to their journey to marriage, jealousy, and friendship as they both discover that love-hate relationships are not as bad as they think.
