As Prince Barlion Great approached adulthood, he was on the verge of inheriting the throne from his father, King Viper Great. However, the young prince's lack of responsibility had delayed the transition for ten long years.
With a new opportunity to prove himself, King Viper devised a test for his eldest son. To challenge Barlion's readiness for the crown, the king presented him with a difficult choice: marry the enigmatic Frost Sorrow or surrender the throne to his younger sibling. Prince Barlion held reservations about marrying Frost, a woman whose face was veiled by whispers of dark stories circulating throughout the five kingdoms.
Frost, a girl without a known future, had never dreamed of becoming the queen of Gold Land Kingdom. Her days were consumed by the countdown to an impending illness, leaving no room for thoughts of marriage or a family. Her parents, desperate to ensure her safety, seized this chance to wed her off to the future king, hoping it would provide protection while they embarked on a quest for a cure beyond the kingdom's borders.
Though Frost yearned for the security of her home, she understood the importance of obeying her parents and respecting the king's decision. Marriage was not something she sought, but she would not defy them.
Prince Barlion, on the other hand, was hesitant to accept a wife whose reputation was tainted with chilling tales. Marriage, in any form, was not appealing to him. All he needed was to endure the arrangement until he secured the throne. Once accomplished, his plan was to find a way to distance himself from Frost, ensuring her presence would no longer trouble him.
The story is quite engaging, definitely a good read; however, the chapters are confusing. Some chapters doesn't have a conclusion and some are missing as well.
