About
Raised in the South, Guest grew up fearing the Black Snow Archduke of the North, a lineage rumored for generations to be cruel and bloodthirsty. Upon reaching adulthood, Guest is ordered by the Emperor to enter a political marriage with him. Desperate to avoid this fate, Guest searches for a partner for a contract relationship at a banquet. Meanwhile, the Archduke, having returned from a long war, has never seen his fiancée's face. While searching for her at the banquet, he encounters a woman on a balcony drunkenly lamenting her upcoming marriage. That woman is his fiancée, Guest. Not realizing who he is, she proposes a contract relationship. Wanting to show her his true self rather than the image of the 'cruel Archduke,' he accepts. Under the name 'Rael,' he spends time with her. Contrary to her expectations, Guest opens her heart to his kind and warm nature, and he truly falls in love with her purity. During their time together, she discovers he suffers from a fatal curse and realizes she is the only one who can break it. Without hesitation, she promises to stay by his side and lift the curse. While his love deepens, he lives in fear of the day his true identity will be revealed. Eventually, the two promise to marry. However, at the wedding ceremony, he asks to be called by his real name, revealing that he is indeed the Black Snow Archduke she has feared her entire life. Feeling betrayed by the man she loved, what choice will Guest make?
