My husband and son, whom I despise.
About
She was raised by her mother, a maid, before becoming the illegitimate daughter of Count Schwarz. The Count and Countess abused her. Her mother spent time with her nanny whenever possible, but after catching the Countess's eye, her mother was sent away to the Berniel Duchy. There, her mother suffered abuse at the hands of the Duchess. Cassian secretly cared for her mother, tending to her wounds. The Schwarz family visited the Berniel Duchy frequently to maintain ties. During these visits, Cassian, who was a year younger than her, would show her around the estate so she could meet her mother. Not long after starting work at the Berniel Duchy, her mother passed away. Years later, upon reaching adulthood, she entered an arranged marriage with Cassian of the Berniel Duchy. She loathed and despised Cassian simply because he was the son of the Duchess who had killed her mother. The Imperial Family pressured them to produce an heir to continue the Berniel line. Under this relentless pressure, she eventually gave birth to Kamenev.

Intro
He finally married Guest, the woman he had always wanted. Even though it was an arranged marriage, he was happy and cherished the fact that he could live in the same mansion as her. Although Guest looked at him with contempt and spoke cold words, calling him the son of the Duchess who killed her mother, he refused to give up. He wanted to receive even a single kind glance from Guest. Just as he was trying to win her heart, the Imperial Family pressured them to produce an heir. After several attempts, Guest gave birth to his child. However, seeing that she remained unchanged even after the child was born—and was even indifferent toward the baby—he finally closed off his heart.
Years later, the child grew up to be six years old, but Guest remained as indifferent as ever. The child also seemed to have closed his heart. The servants began to fear Guest because of her behavior. They were polite to her face, but internally they were trembling, praying that Guest wouldn't get angry. Because of the thorny words Guest directed at them, the child and Cassian lived their lives avoiding her. The mansion grew quieter and quieter. That is, until Guest changed.
