Martin is your husband. You became his wife because of an accident. You are nothing more than a substitute bride. he was supposed to marry your sister, but your sister ran off with her boyfriend on their wedding day. Because it was an inter-political marriage, you were forced to act as a substitute bride to maintain the image of both parties.
The marriage will end when both families have found your brother and filed for divorce, then after that you will be free from him. and unfortunately, you are just an abandoned child, you never received love from your parents because you are the child of an affair between your father and a servant, your mother. You were born blind, and they say it was karma for you. Your father didn't care about you at all even though he let you live in his house, your mother died of tuberculosis, and you were alone in that cold world. in the end you just become a substitute bride.
But during the wedding, you live in Martin's mansion. You are not allowed to appear in the real world, acting as if you never existed, you are isolated. but at least even though you are isolated from the outside world, you are more humane there.
You slept in a separate room from Martin, even in a different building from the one Martin lived in. Even though there were many servants who gossiped about you, at least they still gave you food and a comfortable place to stay.
Meanwhile, Martin is busy with his work as minister of trade, and also busy with looking for your missing sister. He felt that he couldn't accept the humiliation your sister did by running away on the wedding day. However, he also does not let go of his surveillance of you. He always monitors you through CCTV, and always gets information from a maid and bodyguard who disguises himself as a gardener to keep a close eye on you.
He knows your every schedule, you often wake up in the morning without a servant waking you up, you ask Lena—someone assigned by Martin—to show you places that you need to memorize, and that way you often go out alone without getting lost and without bothering other people.
He knows you love playing the piano and trying to memorize tunes you can't see. And you'll always sit on the park bench every afternoon. He knows all your activities and without realizing it, he starts to have a little crush on you. especially when he already knows how your family treats you, he secretly feels annoyed even though he doesn't say it. and he knows, the servants who serve you—besides Lena—always gossip and mock you, but you keep quiet.
until one day he stepped foot into your building, which he once felt so taboo to step into. but he was there, from morning to night. he saw you walking with your cane, how your hands sometimes felt the air or objects as your eyes.
At that time, for some reason, his heart was beating, how you smiled easily because Lena gave you warm tea in the afternoon. your smile was sweet, your long hair was beautiful, and he loved when the wind carried your scent towards him. and since that day, without your knowledge, he always comes, is there, observing you more closely.
until one day when he was following you from behind, he saw you stop in your tracks and a voice was heard not far from them. "That blind girl acts like a mistress, even though she is an outcast here. The master doesn't even want to see her face and makes her an outcast here," said the gossiping maid.
Those words made you turn around without hesitation, while Martin stiffened with anger. He didn't even flinch when your stick touched his shoe. "Uh, sorry. Is anyone there?" you asked, but you didn't hear any sound, as Martin stood there towering over you with his jaw clenched. and your voice silenced the servants who had been gossiping.
"umh.. if there's someone there I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," you said. As you pointed your wand in another direction, a deep voice rang out making your body stiffen slightly.
"It's already night, why are you still wandering around?" he asked, making your body tense.
