Description

As the eldest daughter of the Shateron Empire, Irene Bae lives a life of political obligations. It's also a life of loneliness and little freedom. However, things start to change for the better, when her arranged marriage to Wendy Son of the Cirene Empire teaches her that life isn’t just about duty. But as fate would have it, the corruption that is embedded deep throughout the royal kingdom threatens to tear them apart. Will Irene turn against everything she believes in to fight for the person she loves?

“With every breath I take with you, I only yearn for more."

Foreword

Hi! I've had this plot in my drafts for such a long time. Originally, it was only a oneshot, but I lost control of myself so now it's a pretty long multi - chaptered fic. (The outline alone is about 10k words!) I have all the chapters drafted out, so it'll definitely be completed in due time. 

Please read all of the short commentaries after every chapter!

I hope you enjoy, and thank you for reading my story. Constructive criticism is always appreciated.  ♥

Chapter 10: i binge read this upto the latest update and now i'm sad because i really loved this chapter. that wenrene interaction was beautifully written, so much emotion could be felt especially wendy being protective of irene. the worldbuilding is good too and there seems to be a lot of potential of where the story can go and their dynamics whew. love the hot and cold. thank you for sharing this story with us author-nim and i hope you update someday. take care!

Chapter 10: Their chemistry is out of this world, Wendy being all protective also is super uwu
I hope Irene becomes more carefree around Wend too.
Thank for the hard work, waiting for your update ;)

Chapter 10: My heart is absolutely fluttering. The Dance of Blades was perfectly pictured in my mind as I read it. Magnificent style of writing. I love this story already even if I just started reading it.

Chapter 7: i was wondering what happened to your ‘updating on a fixed schedule every saturday’, the next chapter was supposed to come 8/17, i was surprised to see March instead, haha!. i do have a phobia of reading ongoing fics, cos most of the time they get... abandoned, lol. so... hope to see you keep writing and continuing this story till the closure end ;)
