Over 1.5 million cumulative downloads! A pure and innocent substitute lady cultivates love with an ice prince in this romance fantasy!

I must not be discovered that I came here as a substituteーー… After losing her mother, Katrina was tormented by her stepsister and stepmother, treated like a servant in the count's household. One day, her stepsister caused trouble at a ball and was ordered to undergo etiquette training in a northern border territory as punishment. Out of affection for their own child, the count's family sent Katrina as a substitute, and she was unreasonably forced to go to the cursed prince who governed the border territory... Katrina, trembling, arrived at the border territory, but unexpectedly received good treatment from the prince, whom she had heard was cold-hearted and mercilessーー?
