Two-Faced Princess

Princess Apollonia is widely regarded throughout the empire as a frail and foolish royal, a reputation cemented by her endless string of failed betrothals. Six times she has been engaged, and six times her fiancés have publicly humiliated her by breaking off the arrangements to elope with maids or other noblewomen. To the court, she appears to be nothing more than a helpless girl who tearfully begs to remain by her father’s side forever, dismissed by those around her as utterly useless. Yet behind this carefully constructed facade lies a brilliant and ruthless mind. Apollonia harbors a dark second identity driven by a singular ambition: usurping the imperial throne. She knows all too well that power is never easily claimed, having watched her own father spend ten years plotting the murder of her mother, the Empress. With a chilling smile and intensely glowing red eyes, she sets her sights on the crown. Her ultimate goal is not simply to live alongside her father, but to seize the very seat he occupies. Patient, calculating, and entirely unshakable, Apollonia is coming to reclaim everything that was stolen from her.
