"Who are you?"
A sword was pointed at Aria by Fenrir, the emperor infamous for his cold cruelty.
Wait... isn’t this the opening scene where the bride gets killed on her wedding night?!
That shocking moment... it’s from a novel I read before.
Don’t tell me, I’ve become that Aria?
As memories flood in, I see it clearly, the 'cursed black hair' the constant abuse, and the stark contrast between how she was treated compared to her younger sister, like heaven and earth. A girl who shut away her heart, wearing the empty expression of a lifeless doll.
"If I die like this... both Aria and I were treated far too unfairly!"
Casting aside a past steeped in malice, she chooses to move forward with quiet determination.
And that fragile strength slowly ignites warmth in the frozen heart of the 'cold emperor'.
Thus begins the story of the substitute bride who melts a lonely king’s guarded soul.
A woman who was never meant to be loved, finding herself wrapped in true love instead.
