Embracing the stigma of a fallen noble, Liese settled in a strange city.
Desperate to make ends meet, she visits the Duke’s mansion to find a job as a maid. The man she encounters is none other than the blonde officer she spied on by the lake.
“Lift your skirt. Don’t make me tell you twice.” The relationship that began as a misunderstanding was terrible. Marcus starts groping Liese and humiliating her.
“I thought you’d run away, but you came back. Is servitude in your nature?”
“I’d do anything for my family,”
“Does this mean I can test you to see how far you can go with that body?”
One day, Liese faces an unexpected crisis as she vows to survive until summer. Marcus, who has been waiting in the wings, offers her a deal. He asks her to act as his lover during the social season.
“I need a woman. Someone who looks decent on the surface but is actually nothing.”
As the two begin their deceitful relationship, it becomes increasingly difficult to tell if their desire to kiss each other is an act or the truth. Unlike Liese, who can control her wavering heart, Marcus ends up harboring extremely twisted desires

This borderline smexual tension between the two of them like fire and ice was just perfectly done, always keeping me on the edge, I’m only halfway through and I’m only sticking till the end to see him GROVELLLLLL

I really love this piece. I love reading novels where the ML repents and grovels, albeit sincerely. My kinda genre.

Made it to chapter 5 and i’m going to stop. The main leads are so unlikeable and the ML is straight up abusive. It’s hard to root for them as a couple or believe their eventual romance is anything other than gaslighting, manipulative powerplay or stockholm syndome. Maybe it gets better but having read 42 parts, i don’t want to waste anymore time.
