"Steal Diello Arzenta’s purity through deception."
That was the vile order delivered by Duke Alore, a contemptible father, who carved the enemy's name into his own daughter's back.
The protagonist awakens in the body of Crua Alore, a villainous extra from the R-rated tragic novel The Three Ducal Houses. Disguised as the fake fated partner or Pheró of Duke Diello Arzenta, she is tasked with infiltrating and ultimately destroying the House of Arzenta.
But determined to escape the cruel fate laid out in the original story, she makes a bold choice:
"Let’s get married. For just one year."
Bound by mutual interests, the two enter into a contract marriage. Together, they put on a convincing show of passion, all while working to secure Arzenta’s safety.
Yet when the year draws to an end, and Crua prepares to leave—
Diello reveals a side of himself she never anticipated.
"I thought you were clever...
So how is it that you only see one side of things?"
Can Crua escape from Diello’s tender yet unyielding obsession?
