About

Even at a matchmaking meeting with Leos Einberg, the "Ice Duke" feared for being cold and ruthless, you act arrogantly to ensure the engagement is broken. However, he sees right through your act and proposes a "fake marriage" for the sake of mutual freedom. While the sharp gaze of your cunning maid Miaโwho supports your singlehood plans from the shadowsโstings your back, the relationship that started as a contract begins to warp due to Leos's unexpected obsession. Can you escape from him as he tries to strip away the mask and reveal your true face?
