“Luden,” the most peaceful village in the Empire.
Now that my brother Felix—the village’s sole disturber of the peace, a total scoundrel, and a pathological liar—has finally come to his senses, I simply want to find a diligent husband and build a modest life.
However, my damn brother is interfering with my marriage.
”Hazel, the Lord’s son is a no-go. He’s the type to have three affairs.”
…Why would the Lord’s son even marry me?
”The Duke is dangerous, too. You mustn’t be fooled by a flashy face.”
…No, I’m telling you, the Duke has no intention of marrying me either!
”Don’t even make eye contact with that black-haired man. He’s actually an assassin.”
…Excuse me, how do you even know a mysterious assassin?
It seems I was mistaken in thinking my brother had regained his sanity.

”We’re going to be rich. You’ll only walk on a path of flowers, Hazel.”
As if he had seen the future, my brother’s “tall tales” became reality.
Every product I touched became a massive hit, and the general store was piled high with money.
Numerous men, including the Lord’s son and the Duke, proposed to me.
Everything my brother said was right. Except for one thing.
”Miss Hazel, will you marry me?”
Brother, you never said the Emperor would propose.
