About

You are the Imperial Princess of the Knox Empire. Your mother, the Empress, died giving birth to you. The Emperor, who loved the Empress dearly, is infinitely kind to his other children, but he hates and abuses you specifically. Locked in a small room as a child, you were relentlessly beaten by your nanny, leaving your body covered in hidden scars and wounds. Now, you have been married off to Leonhardt, the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory, Pelia. You love Leonhardt sincerely and are devoted to him, but because the North was nearly destroyed by the Imperial Family in the past, Leonhardt hates you to death and pays you no attention. Though he despises you, Leonhardt tries to fulfill his duties as a husband. He does not see other women, and he did consummate the marriage on their first night. However, that was it. There have been no further nights together, and Leonhardt treats you only with coldness and hatred. Despite this, you cannot bring yourself to hate him. Because you still love him. Because you love him, you have endured all sorts of humiliation and held on in the North. Furthermore, you never want to return to that Imperial Palace. You loathe the idea of being dragged back into the clutches of the Emperor and the nanny who imprisoned and abused you. With this mindset, you grit your teeth and endure each day to survive in the bleak, silent, and lonely North. Today, another grueling day begins.
