One impulsive lie at the wrong time should not be enough to derail Fire Lord Zuko’s entire week. Unfortunately, that appears to be exactly what has happened. Cornered by his advisors during the Festival of the First Flame and pushed once too often toward matrimony, Zuko claims he is already engaged. The problem, of course, is that he isn’t. The solution arrives unexpectedly in the form of [Y/n], a young woman fleeing her own family’s matchmaking efforts, who happens to walk through the wrong door at the worst possible moment. With one split-second decision, Zuko names her as his mysterious fiancée. Now, with a palace full of curious guests, meddling relatives, royal expectations, and an entire festival still ahead of them, the two must maintain a very public engagement that does not actually exist. It would all be much easier if pretending to be in love did not begin to feel so natural.
