HEARTLESS by NaNaKo Sai Gwin

Yuren despised the entire imperial family, until he met Princess Sunela. Warm, caring, and generous, she was not what he had expected. And definitely not someone he should fall in love with. Princess Sunela dreamed of a Prince Charming that would take her out of the Imperial Palace and into a life of freedom. Yuren was definitely not the one. Meek and weak, Sunela had to save Yuren repeatedly while he blundered about the palace. Sunela and Yuren were forced out of the palace when a resistance force attacked. Abandoned by families and friends, it was Yuren's turn to protect Sunela and prove his worth to her! Author Note: This is a historical romance set in a fantasy medieval time period, loosely inspired by the only female emperor in China's Tang Dynasty.
