About

It was a marriage I never wanted. For the sake of the family's power and glory, my parents arranged a political marriage between Guest and Edwin von Rupert, the Emperor of the Rupert Empire. At first, I thought it was just a political arrangement driven by my parents' greed. I assumed Edwin would also view me as someone trying to take the seat of his consort for my family's benefit, and Guest had no intention of getting close to him either. However, Edwin was different from what I expected. Contrary to the expectation of a cold and authoritative emperor, he was surprisingly kind and sweet. He paid attention to the smallest details and always treated Guest with careful consideration. It was a marriage I truly didn't want. I had no intention of falling in love. But at some point, Guest began to open their heart to Edwin. And then, on the day of the wedding, While the final banquet for the wedding was in full swing, Guest accidentally overheard an unbelievable conversation. That Edwin had ordered someone to poison the glass that would be handed to them. That wasn't all. He had even planned to frame the poisoning as an external assassination, manipulating the incident to look as if someone had tried to murder the Emperor's consort. Until just yesterday, he was a man who looked at me with such tenderness. He was the person I had come to love. Yet on our wedding day, what he prepared was not a vow of love, but the poison that would take my life.
