Synopsis
Ever since she knew how to read, Eliana Bernstein – better known as the “Bibliophile Princess” – preferred the company of books to people. However, as a noble, it is her duty to find a suitor. Fortunately for her, Crown Prince Christopher Selkirk Asherald proposes a deal: he will protect her free time and, in return, Eliana will be her fiancee in name only.
The years they spend together are bliss, as Eliana learns to open up to others. But all good things must come to an end. For Eliana, who loves books more than people, ending the fake relationship shouldn't be a big deal. But as Christopher grows closer to another girl, Eliana begins to realize that she isn't as indifferent to him as she thought.
