The Unwanted Bride Loves the Crown Prince With All Her Heart, Volume 1
When her country of Lidea loses the war, Princess Tinalia must wed the enemy prince, Keith. The arrangement isn't as dire as it sounds, after all, Tinalia has been in love with Keith for years!
Unfortunately for her, Keith doesn't remember they already know each other. The circumstances of their first meeting were unfortunate, as their countries were at war, and Lidea committed too many atrocities against his people to forgive. Thus, Tinalia finds herself the hated bride of the crown prince, treated coldly and scornfully by everyone around her... even though she continues to love him with all her heart.

August 3, 2025ugh, everyone's garbage except our poor princess and her maid. I hate it when people treat others like trash based on misconceptions. princess is being judged solely by her country - it's not even one that the heroine had a bad reputation. Throw the male lead in the trash.

A princess has to marry the prince of another country, she doesn’t mind… he doesn’t want to.
I came across this one on ComicsPlus and just loved the cover and was hopeful for lots of romance or at least them falling in love. Well, I can tell you, she is totally head over heels, he is still an asshole though I can see he is interested in her. Despite a lot of things that had me frustrated I still enjoyed this one. But yeah, my review may be a bit on the EEHHHHHHRRHHGHG side, so know I still loved it because Tina was such a wonderful character and deserves the world.
In this one two countries who have been at war/arguments for ages are trying to reconcile and what better way then to marry off your kids. Right? And that is how Tina ends up in Baldin. Arranged marriage is always a favourite trope of mine, especially when the two start to fall in love. However, I wonder if that truly will happen here. Keith is totally pissed off at the whole arrangement and throughout the book he is a total asshole towards her. And not just him. But everyone. I get it, your countries are at war, both sides did terrible shit, but she doesn’t deserve all that crap. Throughout the book we see her being isolated. Barely getting food. Barely getting necessities. And next to Keith being a total jackass (though at times there are thankfully glimpses that he may not be a total asshole), there is also his stepmother (I am guessing that she was that) who decides that Tina is the perfect servant girl. And Tina, being who she is, cannot say no. Probably also because we quickly find out that in her own country she was treated the same. Yes. So my love for Tina grew because now I definitely wanted her to have a happy ending. A place of happiness. And I just wanted to see her step up out of her comfort zone and just say NO to people. Tina was a wonderful character and I just adored her. She is a big reader and I love that she was able to disappear into bookish worlds and just forget it all. When there is a big party and she has no dress she makes her own from bits and pieces which both made me cry and also love how creative she is.
And Tina’s maid is also a fantastic character. I love how supportive she is of Tina, I love how she tries to get Tina to just stop saying yes to everything, I love how she tries to make it all nice for Tina. She is so sweet and I hope that she gets more appearances.
We also at times get to see Keith’s POV and we see that he is struggling as well (though seriously, no need to push all your frustrations to poor Tina), especially when certain things are revealed. I am curious to see how that plot part continues in the next one. Plus, if Keith starts to chill a bit around Tina.
We also learn that the prince was captured when he was a kid and stayed in Lidea where he met Tinalia. He doesn’t remember (which made me groan as it is such a stupid trope, I mean sure he couldn’t see her face entirely, but how many girls with white/very blonde hair and that eye colour and the name Tina does he know?), but she definitely does and she has always dreamed of meeting him again.
The art was gorgeous and I loved the style. Though I was pretty pissed and confused at the gorgeous illustrations between the chapters which showed lots of sweet romance scenes. I mean, I loved them. But I hated them as well as they confused me. There was NO romance yet between these two and it felt like such a fucking tease. Like why show this when the whole volume is him avoiding her like the plague and treating her like shit and her both worried and swooning over him. It just felt messed up.
All in all, despite the numerous issues I had fun reading this one, it really helped that Tina is such a sweet girl that you want to root for. And the art was pretty as well. I cannot wait to read the next volume as I really need to find out what is next. Will these two get their happy ending or will it just be more of Keith’s bullshit.

A tad by-the-numbers but not terrible. If you like romance tropes like forced political weddings, slowly growing on him but he won't admit it, and secret past where they were friends then you'll like its execution here. Some of the issue comes from how wilting the female lead is. Tina is willing to let things happen for the greater good of others to a fault. She doesn't want to let her husband know she was the one who cared for him while he was kidnapped lest he… GASP… possibly think she's an ok person and not a horrible person! All because the tropey villainess lied and said she was dating him and she just couldn't get in the way of her husband's feelings. I also find it odd Tina's country lost a war and the princess / child of the King they choose is her. She's canonically the third daughter, or child, and also an illegitimate child. Hopefully it's later brought up why she was chosen and not someone else. But judging by this first volume I sort of doubt it as the romantic and political drama are all generic. There is a glimmer of interest in Keithfault's upbringing of seeing his strung along Dad cause him to have this entrusting exterior that warps him to be unable to see good or act on his love for Tina. But this vigilant element isn't explored much yet though I hope it is.
The art is also very generic in that cheap vertical comic way. You can tell its using various 3d assets, drawings, and sources some of its patterns and images from some generic asset pack. The art is inconsistent too with some pages definitely getting more love and other ones done with less work and shakier lineart. There is effort behind it but it's also clear there is some sort of deadline impacting the quality of the chapter releases.

Princess Tinalia has loved Prince Keith for 10 years, but Keith doesn't seem to remember her when she arrives for their arranged wedding as terms for the peace with her country's surrender in the war. Thanks to Tinalia's unusual history, she is able to cope with a lot more than is typically expected of a princess. While this is by no means good or kind, especially considering her station, it is beneficial as it allows her to keep what little peace she has amidst all of the hostility following the war. One thing that hasn't changed is that Tinalia just wants the happiness of her prince, even though it seems no one but her maid wants the same for her.

Hmmmmmm, the female lead is sooooo passive & I do not enjoy her 'thank you for kicking me' energy (in a sincere way, nothing saucy) but there's a decent mystery afoot so I'll probably keep on with this one for a bit at least.

Really nice
This story is so pretty. I really like the premise for this story Tina has been in love Keith for ten years. I highly recommend this story.

This was a good start. I think I'd need another volume to really see if this story has staying power because at present it is very generic. I do like this type of story but I want to see how well this one is going to be. The art didn't do anything to catch my attention either but it was perfectly serviceable.
