The Substitute is Doted on by the Cold-Hearted Majesty

Synopsis

“Who are you?” — Aria finds a sword pointed at her by Fenrir, the emperor famed for his cold cruelty. Wait… isn’t this the wedding-night scene where she gets killed off right at the beginning of the story!? The shocking scene is from a novel I once read. —Have I become that Aria? Among the memories flooding into her mind, she sees it: scorned as “that accursed black-haired girl,” treated as worlds apart from her younger sister. A doll-like expression, her heart long since shut away. “If I get killed like this, it’s far too tragic for both Aria and me!” Casting off a past steeped in malice, she bravely lifts her gaze and steps forward. That unwavering resolve begins to ignite a flame within the frozen heart of the so-called “Cold-Blooded Emperor.” A “substitute bride” who slowly unravels the lonely king’s guarded heart. A girl who was never meant to be loved— now finds herself dyed in true love. [Original Webtoon](https://mechacomic.jp/books/251215)
