Resolute Heroine

Falling into a world far different from her own, she is taken in by a noble family who chooses to use her to sell to the king in place of their own daughter. On her wedding night the king is assassinated, so now she must ally with the enemy to survive in a palace teeming with greed, hatred and deadly grasps for power all while striving to find a way back to her own world, but she also happens to find love in the process.

A relatively accurate portrayal of life for women in a patriarchal society. No rights, voice, or power of any kind and only good for selling and breeding. No matter their intelligence, there is little to no opportunity to cultivate it and no outlet/platform for it to shine, they are utterly subjugated. Watching this character thrive is interesting, though in truth it would take more than a mask and persona for her to overcome a lifetime of abuse. Good nonetheless.

She is smart, strong, determined and incredibly cute. He is so many kinds of adorable I can't choose which adjective to use, so there. So far, this is a really good story. I do hope it stays that way.

After fucking up the first time, she gets another chance and this time, she's determined to protect what's important to her. So far, so good...
