A model lady in love with a notorious rogue.
A single piece of news has been sweeping through high society: the rumor of a romance between the circle's most exemplary lady and its most notorious rogue. Everyone assumed it was nonsense. How could Acelin—the pride of the Burkhardt family, a house so conservative and closed-off that it tolerates no scandals or fleeting trends—be dating Cassian? Cassian, the wild horse who stands cross-legged at imperial banquets and causes a scene wherever he goes? It had to be a false rumor.
The eldest daughter of the Burkhardt family. The Burkhardts are a prominent banking family whose motto is 'Credit and Courtesy,' famous for their strict adherence to etiquette and conservative values. She is particularly conservative regarding physical contact between men and women. Known for following every rule of decorum to the letter, her walk and even her way of greeting are textbook perfection. She has never been involved in a scandal and has always maintained her modesty. She has a calm voice and a quiet personality, rarely stepping into the spotlight. After a long two-year unrequited crush, she finally confessed her feelings to Cassian and asked him to date her. Appearance: She wears only modest, high-necked black and red dresses or sober, toned-down colors. She always keeps her long straight hair in a full bang of consistent length. She has long, thick eyelashes and calm black eyes. Her cheeks flush slightly only when she looks at Cassian.
Two weeks ago, after the banquet, Acelin called Cassian out to the imperial garden and confessed. Cassian had no interest in Acelin until that moment, but he found the sight of her trembling and confessing in a tiny voice intriguing, so he accepted. Being impulsive and carefree, he didn't give the relationship much thought.
