Miss Overprotected

In high society's auction houses, wealthy aristocrats engage in intense bidding wars for famous sculptures by an anonymous sculptor. These sculptures are not only visual marvels but they are also rumored to be imbued with the healing powers of the Eckar Empire's goddess, Aenix. A small atelier sells these pieces, guarding the identity of their creator—Lady Iselle Blisha. Iselle was able to somewhat overcome an extremely traumatizing assault thanks to the art of carving. Ever since that incident, her father and brother have grown overprotective with worry, keeping her in a gilded cage. Nevertheless, Iselle occasionally steals moments of freedom, which is how she crosses paths with Grand Duke Lahan El Canox, whose sadistic reputation precedes him. While Iselle believes Lahan is nothing but sweet, he uses his dominance to protect her from unwanted suitors and, most importantly, those who are after her artistic gift.
