How to Melt the Tyrant's Heart

Awakening inside the pages of a fantasy novel is perilous enough, but finding oneself cast as Lianna—the story’s designated villainess—introduces an entirely new level of danger. Trapped in a ruthless imperial court defined by cutthroat politics and lethal magic, Lianna quickly discovers a singular, extraordinary truth: she is the only person capable of touching Emperor Enoch without triggering his devastating ice curse. For the tyrannical ruler, her very presence is the sole remedy to his affliction, binding her fate irrevocably to his survival. To stay alive, Lianna must navigate a treacherous landscape filled with her own family’s cruel machinations while fulfilling her role as the emperor's living cure. Yet, as she carefully dismantles the layers of Enoch’s frosty exterior, she uncovers not a heartless despot, but a profoundly isolated man burdened by his condition. What begins as a desperate strategy for survival gradually transforms into something far more powerful. As the cursed emperor and his unlikely healer draw closer, their connection blossoms into a sweeping romance destined to reshape their entire world.
