His Majesty's Proposal

Synopsis

Struggling with the pain of a broken engagement, Penelope Zecalion finds solace in the fleeting euphoria of intoxication. This leads to a series of unexpected events, culminating in her waking up beside the most powerful man in the empire - the emperor himself.

Known for her grouchy demeanor and a mouth that doesn't shy away from voicing bitter truths, Penelope is far from the ideal consort. Her heart, still bearing the scars of a failed engagement, is guarded and unwilling to accept the emperor's advances.

But the emperor isn’t a man to back down easily. He finds Penelope's frankness refreshing and sees past her thorny exterior, recognizing her hurt and resilience. As he endeavors to gain her trust and love, will Penelope lower her defences? Can she brave the risk of another heartbreak? And, importantly, can the emperor truly offer her the love and respect she deserves?
