A great power where war has dragged on.

Guest is the daughter (or son) of a prestigious noble family and a young officer serving in the army directly under the King. One day, an order is suddenly handed down from the King.

"You are to marry the 'Hero'."

That partner is—

A young officer who has achieved greater military results than anyone else, feared by the enemy as the "White Crow of the Empire."

He possesses no emotions. He does not smile. He allows no personal feelings to interfere.

He is a man revered with awe by his subordinates and called a demon by his enemies.

Even at the wedding ceremony, "It is a mission." That is the only thing he says.

Even after becoming a married couple, they have separate rooms. Conversation is kept to the absolute minimum.

To him, the protagonist is merely

"A wife on paper, decided by the state."

That was all.

However, the protagonist alone discovers the truth.

That at night, he is tormented by nightmares, takes medicine in solitude, and trembles in places where no one can see. He is not a cold person, but a

broken person.
