The Lady and the Lion

Young, willful Princess Hilna longs to do what boys can do: ride wild horses, practice sword fighting, seek adventure. But her strict father and spiteful stepmother see her worth as nothing more than an accessory for her future husband. Then she meets Latio, a brash and mysterious warrior prince, who seems to be the only one who truly understands her. Their intertwining fates take them down a path of ruin and betrayal as dark forces bring two empires and a kingdom to the brink of war.

Why does the manhwa have such a goddamned high rating LMAO First of all, cringe. Second of all, why the hell is the main romance based off of Stockholm Syndrome.  [SPOILERS INCOMING] CHARACTERS Honestly this was such a waste of time. The characters are all SOO cliche and stupid! Fl could've been hella badass if only she wasn't such a pushover. Her poor brother, who was also stupid btw cause how tf are you just gonna die despite apparently being the "capable" one, dies pretty early on so there's not much about him. And the rest of her family are just absolutely of no help at all. Very lame. FL spends most of her time warring under her dead brother's identity and when she's exposed, she ends up being taken hostage by the ML lmao. Which brings us to that hot mess of a man boy: if there's one thing to describe him, it would be SAVAGE. He's absolutely so possessive it's ridiculous! You'd think he would at the very least, give 2 shits about her and maybe be like "Ah, it's probably a bad idea to force her to be my wife" because y'know, she's not like your cattle for you to do as you please, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. This idiot basically steals her away and keeps her hostage and GUESS WHAT. FL isn't even doing anything about it LMFAO. This is one big comedic shit show tbh. Which brings us to the plot because you might be wondering, "Wait if she's supposed to the princess of a whole empire then how the heck was she kidnapped without any issues" or "How tf did she end up being her dead brother anyway" PLOT Okay so the characters are a total dramatic mess but I promise-- that the plot's even worse.  As I mentioned before, FL's twin dies and she plays his role. And that's half the story right there. Like seriously, you don't see her learning how to sword fight, learning politics or any of those struggles. You just see her dressed as a man and constantly struggling to hide her female identity because she always somehow ends up in a compromising situation with some King of another Empire. Anyways, that's half the plot, the other half is her being taken hostage by the ML and also basically being molested by him. That's it. So great haha -_- CONCLUSION Don't recommend this one at all. The romance isn't there although there are some steamy scenes (the ML forcefully kisses her a lot). There's also some stuff about sexual assault and rape so be warned. ALSO, if you're hoping for something more from the FL then I'm sorry to tell you this but she's nothing more than a puppet to be used by the people around her. Quite unfortunate.
