The Male Lead's Little Lion Daughter

The bleak and dangerous north of the empire belongs to a man as ferocious as he is beautiful: Duke Pelliot Voreoti. He is the most desired bachelor in the country, which is why no one understands his hasty decision to adopt a child instead of simply marrying. But his search for an offspring has been rather fruitless, as every orphan bursts into tears at the mere sight of his chilling face. However, one small, disheveled girl boldly stands before the duke, immune to his threats and intimidating air. Moreover, the girl bears a striking resemblance to the duke with her jet-black eyes and hair. Amused by her confidence and a penchant for bickering, the duke adopts her and gives her a name worthy of a Voreoti heiress—Lionia. Now a beloved daughter of a father with an attitude to match hers, Lionia fully embraces her new life, but the mystery of her origins may be closer to home than anyone realizes.

The handsome Duke Voreoti is the most terrifying man in the empire, with the coldest of demeanors and a gaze that can kill. But one day, he suddenly says that he wants to...adopt a child?! And that child is me?! After finding me at a shady orphanage, he whisked me away to his snowy palace without a second thought. Now I’m learning all the ways of the feared Voreoti family from his knights. However, things get dicey when the Duke becomes suspicious of my origins. With these fangs and jet black hair, perhaps we are more than just kindred spirits…
