Synopsis
Lanya ends up taking the place of the young lady of the household and becomes the bride of the Berkian Grand Duke— a man rumored to be a murderer.
Though called a bride, it is said that anyone sent to the northern castle where the Grand Duke resides becomes a cold corpse within a day. In other words, it is no different from a death sentence.
But what shocks Lanya even more is the Grand Duke’s sudden change in behavior. The man who once treated her as if she did not exist—ignoring her as though she were nothing—now becomes an entirely different person in an instant.
“Your warmth is what I need. Only you can calm this unbearable heat.”
He clings to her desperately, longing to hold her, as if she alone can soothe him. Yet when daylight comes, he once again turns cold and distant, treating her with the same indifference as before. His shifting demeanor leaves Lanya in utter confusion.
“What on earth are you?”
What is he, really? Why does he drive me so insane like this?
