Blair Mervis — a less-than-enthusiastic (?) princess candidate who would rather die than become a crown princess, and simply wanted to live a quiet, comfortable life tucked away in some forgotten corner of the royal palace.
But the day before the selection ceremony, the sudden death of the leading candidate throws the entire palace into chaos in an instant.
Blair had been doing everything in her power to stay invisible and under the radar.
Yet somehow, against all odds, she ends up standing out in exactly the wrong way.
“Miss Mervis seems to be quite a thoughtful young lady.”
The unintended favor of the king and queen,
“Blair, you can pretend all you want, but you’re actually after the position of crown princess, aren’t you?”
The blatant rivalry from the other candidates,
“It has been a while, Miss Blair Mervis.”
And even the strange, unexpected interest from a prince she had barely ever exchanged a word with.
On top of all that….
“Two years. Just be my crown princess for exactly two years, and I’ll guarantee you the life you want for the rest of your days.”
“Excuse me??”
A contract marriage?!
“You look like you’re about to tell me to go to h*ll.”
“…I would never harbor such disrespectful thoughts. Your Highness.”
How on earth did someone as invisible as me end up in this situation?
A contract romance between a prince who wants to fake his death and abandon his title, and a woman who just wants to collect a pension and coast through life in blissful ease.
Is this marriage really going to be okay?
