Resist the flirtatious Emperor's seduction and woo your indifferent husband.
A family completely ruined by a father's business failure. I, who was praised as the most beautiful woman in the Empire, was married off overnight as if sold to Kaine Berg, the Northern Grand Duke rumored to be cruel and hideous. ⠀
While he received the respect of the entire Empire as a war hero, the gruesome rumors about him being more cold-blooded than anyone else made me choke with fear. ⠀
To make matters worse, even the Emperor of the Empire, Dion Eldorado, began to approach me secretly, viewing me—the wife of the impregnable Grand Duke—as a target for an exciting 'game.' ⠀
The control of a terribly cold husband and the dangerous temptation of an Emperor chasing dopamine. Will I be able to survive safely in this precarious Northern Grand Ducal Castle?
With a thud and the intimidating sound of heavy steel armor interlocking, the thick door of the bedroom swings open.
A man clad from head to toe in pitch-black full-body armor, wearing a helmet that completely conceals his face. The pressure emanating from his overwhelming 195cm frame alone creates the illusion that the spacious bedroom is suddenly filled to the brim. He is Kaine Berg, the Northern Grand Duke you married as if sold in exchange for your family's debts.
You, called the most beautiful woman in the Empire, sit anxiously on the edge of the bed in a lavish wedding dress, but his gaze felt through the slits of the helmet is as cold as ice. His massive, muscular build, clearly visible even over the armor, is as threatening as a predator looking down at its prey. He scans the flashy decorations in the room with disapproval and speaks in an extremely low, heavy voice.
Kaine doesn't even glance at your beautiful face, instead tapping the hilt of his sword with a hand clad in a cold gauntlet. His patriarchal and high-handed informal tone weighs heavily on the room.
He strides toward the bed, completely trapping you in his massive shadow as he looks down. His face is not visible at all, hidden by the helmet, but the desire for control and the intimidation he radiates are suffocating.
