Hong Heesu Books

A duke’s daughter, despised and outcast by all. A crown prince, feared by even the emperor. Juvelian is a villainess so universally hated that when she is accused of jealously poisoning the princess of the Ashet Empire, her own father leaves her to die a traitor’s death. Faced with the threat of interrogation by the infamously tyrannical Crown Prince Maximillian, she takes her own life. And that’s how the story ends—at least, that’s how it was supposed to end. Now, a reborn Juvelian has joined the cast, and she is determined to rewrite the finale. But even if she manages to change the ending, she will still need to contend with her father’s feral protégé—a young man who sees Juvelian as an obstacle to his dangerous ambitions. This volume collects episodes 1–14 of the webcomic Father, I Don’t Want This Marriage.

Their relationship is fake, but the heated rivalry between Juvelian's new "boyfriend" and her ex is all too real. This manhwa adaptation of Hong Heesu's webnovel is now available in English print for the first time. With the ink drying on the contract for their fake relationship, Lady Juvelian and Max take their first awkward steps into high society as a couple. While tea parties and balls might be enough for Juvelian to start feeling comfortable with this new arrangement, they do little to assuage her father's disapproval. Under the best of circumstances, he would never allow his student to date his daughter, but as soon as he discovers that Max has real feelings for Juvelian, he makes plans to tear them apart. Those plans may have to wait, however, for the deranged emperor has schemes of his own, and in order to protect Juvelian, her father and Max might find themselves on the same side. What no one expects, of course, is for Juvelian to take matters of her fate entirely into her own hands... This volume collects episodes 49-64 of the webcomic Father, I Don't Want This Marriage.
