The Princess Groom 01

The love story of a brooding prince with a needy side and the dashing beauty who sweeps him off his feet!

Lady Leticia is a duke's daughter known as the belle poupée—beautiful doll—for her ethereally delicate looks. Her waifish face leads many to believe her meek and docile. But with the use of a magical ring, she regularly transforms into a handsome and gallant young man! This dashing alter ego, famed for "his" heroic exploits, has captivated the hearts of women and men across the land.

As the belle poupée, however, she finds she can't melt the heart of her new betrothed, Prince Gilbert, the brooding—and some say cursed—second-born prince of the royal family. But when Leticia reveals her other persona in front of him and his reaction is to blush and swoon, she finds herself unexpectedly charmed. Who could have predicted that the cursed prince would love it when a woman takes charge and swoops in to save him? It's time for this doll to give her man a taste of true husband material!
