Synopsis
Outcast princess marries cold duke, hiding secrets tied to his late wife while breaking his icy heart.
Princess Peony has always felt like an outsider in her own family, so when she's arranged to marry Grand Duke Ernst Eques—rumored to be the empire's most formidable noble—she sees it not as a punishment, but as an unexpected opportunity. The duke, haunted by a tragic past, keeps everyone at arm's length, his heart seemingly as cold as his reputation suggests. But Peony harbors her own secrets and a mysterious connection to the duke's late wife. As she navigates the treacherous waters of court politics and tries to break through Ernst's icy exterior, she must balance her true identity with her growing feelings. In a world where appearances can be deceiving and danger lurks behind every smile, can two guarded hearts find their way to each other? Or will the shadows of the past prove too powerful to overcome?
