I hate you to death, but we can’t let go of each other,

Even if we fight to the death, we never leave and always come back,

You are my salvation, and I am your breath,

I love you, my one and only fantasy.

Lecan Tenekvan is the leader of an up-and-coming noble faction, considered a rebel due to his overwhelming charisma. Lecan, who eventually becomes the country’s first emperor, is an unparalleled genius on the continent.

Winter Rotea is betrothed to Lecan from a young age but hides her identity under the alias Leyesha after her household is unjustly accused of rebellion. A genius in magical theory, she must kill the stoic Lecan to prove her loyalty.

This novel is so good. The both male and female characters are so interesting. I love strong female characters and the FL is so good. We need more characters like this fl. Also the translation is so smooth. Just go and read.

I have already finished this novel and let me tell you it's so freaking good!! I'm always on the verge of tears with this one but the good moments just make it so worth it!!

FL is just a gem. She's smart but not in an over dramatic way where you feel like it's just done for hype. The novel does a great job showing that even though she's smart and 'cunning' she's still human. She's a broken person but doesn't lose her humanity.

The ML is just *chef's kiss*. Maybe I'm... more>> baised but I just love how he's willing to be vulnerable and tries his best to honour her wishes. I feel like this is one of those few times I've read an ML that's branded as smart and knowledgeable and actually lives up to it.

AND THE SIDE CHARACTERS OOF. They aren't even side characters, they are people with actual thoughts and desires with complex personalities. Each once feels different from the other and I wish some of them got more screentime but alas this novel doesn't seem to have any side stories. Totally recommend this gem if you want to read something with actual intrigue and that doesn't make you close your brain cells <<less

I hate to see such low rating on such a wonderful novel. Its a slow burn with subtle hints and cautious moves. The FL and ML are dancing around each other through a web of complex political and personal situations. Both each other's greatest enemy and staunchest ally. My only wish is that the chapters would come just a little faster.
