SOMETIMES FIRE AND ICE ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER.

Brigitte Meidell belongs to a noble family, which means high expectations were placed upon her spirit contract. However, her bonded spirit turned out to be a weak no-name, and ever since, she has been a source of shame to her family. She thought her engagement to the prince would turn her life around, but when he publicly breaks off their relationship, she finds herself alone again. After her haughty, villainous behavior as the prince’s bride-to-be, no one shows her much sympathy—except for the duke’s son Yuri, who attends the same magic academy. Yuri is feared for his incredible abilities and icy personality, but with him on her side, her fortunes might have changed...

A Charming Tale of Villainous Love

As with so many light novels, and especially those in the "villainess" category, this one borrows several ideas from its predecessors. This is especially true with the setup of the story. But fear not, once the story begins, it becomes a charming tale of love between the unlovable. I, too, grew to love the two misconstrued villains of the story. I think the only small flaw I saw in the story was how quickly the other students seemed to change their minds about the villainess, some of which almost to the point of worship. It feels out of place, but perhaps there are supernatural reasons for this that have not been explained in the story thus far? At any rate, I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series.

I would also like to compliment both the translator and the narrator. They did a wonderful job to make this book feel very natural.
