[From Batoto Scans] One day, Minerva's engagement to the Crown Prince is called off. However, she soon got engaged to Duke Mars, the brother of the King. Marriage with the Duke, who is unrivaled in terms of beauty and status, would make anyone envious. However, he is famous for his "misanthropy" and rarely shows up at social gatherings or smiles. What will happen to her marriage with him?

Losing her parents at a young age and forsaken by her uncle, Peony's life is shrouded in loneliness. One day, she meets a mysterious boy named Zach in a forest. The two fall in love, but are quickly torn apart. Ten years have passed since then. Peony has given up all hope of reuniting with her lost love, devoting herself to becoming a bride of the lord. However, one fateful day the King himself comes to visit her academy, and is the spitting image of the Zach from her memories...

After her engagement to the crown prince was called off, she was assigned to marry an unsociable duke. "You're my wife, aren't you? You can't reject me." Minerva is the daughter of a marquis and the crown prince's fiancee, but her engagement is suddenly called off one day. Shortly after that, though, she is assigned a new fiance: Duke Mars, the younger brother of the current king. His beauty and position are unrivaled, so any young lady would normally be delighted to marry him. However, he's famous for being unsociable and hardly ever showing up at social occasions or even smiling in public. Minerva is unsure that she can be happy marrying him, but what Mars shows her during their bridal night is an incredibly sweet, devoted side of him, peppered with intense, possessive caresses!
