### Summary
The inaugural chapter introduces Princess Cecile, who is being sent off to marry the notoriously sadistic Emperor Estian. Faced with what she believes is a death sentence, Cecile chooses defiance over despair. Readers immediately lauded her audacious and sarcastic nature, particularly during her confrontation with her neglectful family. Her father callously reveals he chose her for the political marriage by simply pulling her name out of a hat. Cecile's response, a final, defiant middle finger to her family, became the chapter's most celebrated moment, with readers amused by the peculiar censorship that only covered the fingertip. While Cecile prepares to face a tyrant, readers speculate that Emperor Estian's reputation may be a misunderstanding, fitting the "cold duke of the north" trope that Cecile herself sardonically mentions. The chapter is praised for establishing a strong, fiery protagonist who is ready to fight fire with fire, with many readers instantly becoming fans of her "go out with a bang" philosophy.
