The Shut-in Lady Doesn't Want to Become Empress! Cornered by the Stern Emperor's Overflowing Love

"If it isn't the lovely girl from before!" The emperor's true feelings are too sweet. I don't know what to do!

Born into a renowned family of sorcerers, Elestia can't use a single magic spell. She spends her days blissfully buried in the books she loves, far removed from high society... Or that's how things were supposed to be until the ruthless emperor suddenly orders her to become his first concubine! "I don't want to be the empress!" she laments to no avail, and the dreaded bedding ceremony arrives. Elestia steels herself to close off her heart until she suddenly hears the supposedly cruel emperor think, "Wow! Her glistening eyes are stunning!" For some reason, she can hear the emperor's inner thoughts...?! Will Elestia open her heart as she spends her days with the unexpectedly loving ruthless emperor...?!
