Synopsis

She's the Queen who lost a war. And he's the man who won.

* COMPLETED *

Theodora is the Queen of Polis, a city-state that lost the war against the most powerful empire in the continent.
She is sure that they'll execute her immediately but, somehow, she survives the meeting with the Emperor, and she finds herself... Married?
Tossed in a new world without connections and allies, she has to either accept her fate or lose the chance to help her people once again.
She soon finds out that her new husband knows more about her than she does herself, and that his purposes are often far from what she expects.
A fallen queen that doesn't know how to be anything else. A handsome Duke who's the cause of her ruin. And their efforts to find some happiness in a marriage that's been forced on them.

WARNING: there are contents not suitable for a sensitive audience.
The smut scenes are half-censored at the beginning, but the amount and details will increase after a few dozen chapters (according to the Queen's mood .-. )

ยซI'm sorry for lying to you, your grace...ยป
ยซYou're a Duchess. No one will dare to consider your words a lie: if you say that you were painting souls, then it's the truth.ยป
ยซI will remember it.ยป
ยซNo, you have to understand it, Theodora. You're not a prisoner, but my wife. I'll protect you when you need it, and I'll help you with any issue you have. You're not just a Duchess in the name. You're my Duchess.ยป
ยซIt's hard to believe in such a short amount of time.ยป
ยซFor now, stop shaking like a chicken. I won't hurt you.ยป

    Here shameless author reviewing their own work ;) This story is for you if you like: romance, plots, an MC that is not perfect but gets stronger throughout their journey. Just a warning (half of a spoiler): the Duke does seem a crazy one, his purposes might be irrational, but there's a reason for it. Don't get scared (like the Queen did), please. Just continue reading the story, and you'll eventually find out the cause of his 'craziness'. I hope you'll give a chance to "Crazy Duke and Fallen Queen" :D I'll surely do my best to write it.

    The main character is a woman that never gives up even she lost everything. The spicy details mixed to funny details amazed me. I think this story is good and well written, so I suggest to try it ๐Ÿ˜‰

    This is probably my favorite novel on here and one of the most enjoyable reads Iโ€™ve encountered in a long, long while in any medium. The chemistry and trust between the main characters really drives the story and you can tell that the author took great care to really plot out all the details, dropping all kinds of clues from the very beginning until the big reveal, which I didnโ€™t realize until my first re-read while I was waiting for new chapters ๐Ÿฅฐ. I also love that the ML loves and respects the FL and is fully supportive of her and allows her to make her own decisions. I also love the influence of true historical events in this alternative history, and you can tell the author went to great lengths to create a fresh world that is still steeped in reality and its established rules and that none of the characters suddenly change with no rhyme or reason. This story is so satisfying and Iโ€™ll be sad when it ends and I envy those who will get to read this hidden gem for the first time.

    This story is about a little girl of 18 years old, Thea, whose life changed dramatically because of the trouble times she lives in. Forced to abandon everything and everyone she knew, she'll soon discover boutinful life experiences and turn in a wonderful woman. This story is also about the Queen Theodora of the Kingdom of Polis, one of the youngest geniuses and best rulers of her time. Her strategies were unrivaled but she fell against a fate no one could overcome, even her. Finally, this story is about a man and his eternal love for a woman, a love stronger than wars, schemes, empires and, believe it or not, time itself. This passionate flame is so strong that some would even call this man utterly Crazy, but we, readers know better how pure and powerful the man warmth's is in secrecy.

    Ho..ho! Sweetly promising and love the catchy title.๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜˜ The Duke is crazily in love with a fallen Queen, who has lost the war, but wins his heart instead. Storyline has enough suspense and mystery, as well as a good balance of humor and romance, to keep it going strong. Will probably spend my coins to continue reading the locked chapters.. hope the Author will continue to update the novel..๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜„

    Highly recommended. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜˜ Y.E.S. This novel has everything. Love. Romance. Humour. Intrigue. With intelligent main leads too. Who can resist a smitten Duke who is crazily in love with a captivating ex-Queen who has stolen his heart? โค๐Ÿค—โค A love story. About love surviving against all odds, with a relationship that did not start on equal footing, and against a backdrop of political upheaval, with enough suspense and mystery to keep the solid storyline together beautifully. This is my second review. I did spent my coins to unlock chapters, and now I am on Chapter 94. Hopefully the Author will keep the updating the story. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜Š Love this novel. โค๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜˜โค

    I came for the romance but I am here to stay because of FL! Author has created a compelling character with so much attention to detail. There's such depth to FL's character because she has so much awareness of the consequences of her actions. I'm rooting for her success both in love and in power ^^

    The story is well written and the development is smooth. The world background is creative. This is the historical romance story between a fallen queen and the duke she marries to escape death. Most intriguing character plot. Kudos to the author! I would like to read many more chapters in the future. Happy writing!

    There is a warmth in the story from the very first word you read. Despite being a court drama, the love story is very pleasing and touching and hot. The writing quality is classy and the vocabulary and author's voice absolutely suit the royal setup. The story is completed and chunky. Characters are absolutely wonderful; the MC is spunky and the ML is charismatic and you know this right from the very first chapter. World is wonderfully set up too. The expositions do not feel forced and rather go with flow of the story. Lastly, the story deserves every bit of the success it has achieved. Great work, author, and I am sure you future works will be equally or even more successful!

    as I have begun enjoying this novel, I have found that I can't stand to wait. the suspense is wonderful, yet torturous.... I like to read from dawn to dawn if allowed. I really enjoy the way this novel is playing out.
