After meeting an unfortunate death on earth, Sigrid unwillingly transmigrated into a novel world becoming Lady Sigrid Thorin the unwanted wife of the crown prince. She resigned herself to her fate and set a goal to become the empress. 

But to become the future empress, she had to gain the heart of  her husband_the foul tempered Prince Roland Maximus a man that loathed her and would sooner kill her than kiss her. 

While his heart was too thin for her to squeeze into, it was rather wide for the woman he brought home on returning from a three month expedition, a woman he had sworn to protect forever. The same woman Sigrid was on a mission to destroy, an irreconcilable enemy. 

With misunderstandings, scheming and jealousy, thus begun Sigrid's trials to win the heart of the man that had undeniably captivated her with his dazzling smile and her mission step over the fake female lead, be crowned empress and change her fate.

Excerpt.

"A knife to the throat of your husband that has just returned from war, what do you hope to accomplish crown princess?"

Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. 

"A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." 

Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way. 

"Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out.

Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

Sigrid quickly cast a spell on Deborah's mouth to keep the little girl from revealing anymore secrets.


"Simply despicable." Lord Rodrick turned his nose up in the air.


Roland, dragged Sigrid into the green house, commanding the rest of the nobles to stay outside. They found the Thorin's hard at work, filling carts with various fruits.


Lady Iryne raised her head, her eyes flashed over Sigrid and Roland briefly before returning to the task at hand, harvesting winter melons which were as yellow as the dress she was wearing. "We did not think that you two would be joining us."


"We did not think that you would be here either." Sigrid commented. "Do you all know where you are?"


"The mage estate." Elowin answered, approaching them. "I tried to be the voice of reason but mother said I discovered these seeds so...."


"So we must taste the fruits before others." Lady Iryne finished off for her son.
