After two failed engagements and the downfall of her family, Deatrice, the duke's daughter and once the most celebrated socialite in high society, finds herself in a reluctant reunification with Lucius. Lucius is her former fiancé and currently the emperor's favorite knight whose life had been ruined by her own father six years ago. Is this forced marriage the beginning of Lucius' vengeance? Could fate turn it into a second chance for them to get over the shadows of their painful past and find true love? (Source: Webtoon Entertainment)
