People have been wondering who is penning the town's gossip-filled papers. As though they are all-knowing, even the royals.

No one knows that you are the writer, the elegant and naive fifth daughter of the wealthiest family. All you need to do is pick up a quill and write down everything you've learned and witnessed.

Despite being different from your other three brothers and four sisters, you have always enjoyed reading and writing as hobbies. Fortunately, you are not being judged for who you are.

Apart from that, you just don't want to get married, which is the one thing you wish you could avoid talking about with your mother and Lady Halineth, the matron—two of the most influential ladies in high society. Because of your money, they have encountered numerous suitors who are vying for your affections.

However, you are only interested in a specific person. Being the only affluent girl in the town, you are incomparable to Prince Cassian, one of the royals' sons.

One day, you are unexpectedly selected as one of the marriage-minded. You are so anxious that you wish Her Majesty will simply dismiss you as you make your way to the castle.

Your mother is strolling beside you as you approach her. You smile and bow courteously in her direction. Then your chin is raised by her silky hand. "Isn't she lovely, my child?" she remarked, turning to face Cassian, who was looking at you attentively. "Yes, mother. She most definitely is."
