To Melt Your Frozen Heart

With his family either dead or missing, Adrian DeMonte is left as the sole heir to the affluent Velkra estate. Bound by an imperial decree to select a noblewoman for marriage, he deliberately proposes to Marchioness Frey Vuxia—a fearsome warrior infamous as the “Wolf of the Battlefield.” Adrian fully expects her to refuse, but his plan backfires when she unexpectedly accepts. Now thrust into her desolate castle, he must find a way to navigate not only its echoing halls but also the marchioness’s savagely cold heart. Complicating matters further is the cunning emperor himself, who has harbored a lifelong obsession with Lady Vuxia. Determined to claim her at any cost, the emperor orchestrates a dangerous game, willing to eliminate Adrian entirely if it means trapping the marchioness once and for all. Caught between a ruthless sovereign and an emotionally frozen bride, Adrian faces a perilous struggle for survival. To protect himself and potentially win over the icy marchioness, he must outmaneuver the emperor’s deadly grasp before it is too late.
