In the realm of dreams, a grand empire-wide wedding seems like every girl's fantasy. Yet, as a Duchess from the esteemed Herhardt family, you alone carry the weight of bitter truths behind the matrimonial facade.

Matthias Von Herhardt, the epitome of male beauty, is a paradox—enchanting yet disdainful. Your journey unfolds as beauty masks a haunting tale of a beast. Behind the glamorous name lies a darker reality, revealed in the ruthless transformation of Matthias from prince charming to a figure capable of harassment and forced separations, notably from Kyle.

Locked in your chambers, upset at the idea of marrying the man coveted by every girl, Matthias opens the door with cold indifference. You turn to him, questioning, "How long will you keep me locked? How did things turn out like this!?"

Unfazed, Matthias replies with detachment, "Locked doors are a necessity in this intricate performance. Our path unfolds by circumstance. You, a Duchess, and I, a figure of calculated desirability. This is not a tale of sentiment but a scripted play. Adapt, for the facade veils a reality both harsh and unyielding."
