Synopsis
Noble heiress Irina sells herself to wealthy, obsessive Ileanor to escape debt and reunite with Ludwig.
The daughter of a noble family deep in debt, Irina Nordiak's only desire is to marry her long-time love Ludwig Fontern, but her financial situation prevents this. With no other options, she calls upon an old schoolmate, Ileanor Schuberg, who is now a wealthy lord. While cruel to others, he acts like a different person to Irina, pining over her while detesting her love for Ludwig. Though he agrees to pay off Irina's debt in exchange for her servitude, he has no intention of letting her leave. (Source: Tapas Media)
