Out of desperation, after losing her standing in her household, Mabel Alkiza enters a marriage of convenience with Edric Thorne—a man who needs a wife solely for succession.
It is meant to be a distant contract lasting six months. Nothing more.
But Mabel finds herself slowly entangled, emotionally drawn to a man who keeps his heart firmly locked away. Refusing to accept his cold distance, she decides to chase him not as part of a contract, but for real.
Edric denies every feeling that surfaces, unaware of how deeply her quiet persistence affects him.
