The second son of the Raselles Duchy, Kaiden, lived with an empty heart after his lover, Astrid, who had promised him a future, went missing.
Meanwhile, his older brother, Norton Raselles, the Duke, betrayed his fiancée, Princess Sophia, and secretly married Brielle Selinger. Shortly after, Norton died in an unexpected accident.
Kaiden inherited the dukedom, and his brother’s wife, Brielle Selinger, was pregnant. On her way to the Ducal residence, Brielle Selinger encountered an avalanche and suffered a train accident.
When Kaiden visited the hospital where Brielle Selinger was admitted, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
Brielle Selinger was none other than his long-lost lover, Astrid.
‘When had she become my brother’s wife?’
But it didn’t matter.
Now that he had seen her again, Kaiden was determined to keep Astrid by his side—or perhaps, to go to her side.
He was ready to crush and destroy anything that stood in the way of reclaiming her.

Astrid was beautiful and intelligent, but she lost the Marquisate competition due to her younger sibling and mother’s vile schemes.
Having barely survived a life-threatening crisis, Astrid abandoned her past identity and, with the help of a junior colleague, began living as an employee of a merchant guild.
While on a business trip, she received a telegram that the guild headquarters was in danger due to an avalanche. Boarding a train, she ended up in an accident.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a hospital in the capital.
And there, she reunited with Kaiden, her former lover, who had never come to find her despite her long wait.
Astrid pushed Kaiden away, who showed lingering affection for her.
Although she still couldn’t forget him, the wounds of the past were too deep, and her current status was far too insignificant compared to Kaiden, who had become a Duke.
Astrid couldn’t accept Kaiden.
Even if it had all been a misunderstanding.
