Rachel grew up neglected by her father and tormented by her stepmother and stepsister. On the day she finally fled from her oppressive family, she woke up to find herself lying in the middle of a snowy field.
“I’ve found you, my bride.”
The man who rescued Rachel from the snow called her his bride and brought her to his castle.
“Your eyes are filled with fear as you look at me. Do you think I’m a monster too? I know.”
“Do you hate kissing me that much?”
“Just bear with it a little longer. It’s better than having my hands touch you, isn’t it?”
The man was none other than Kaiden, the Duke of Waterford, infamous for his curse that froze everything he touched. Due to the schemes of her kidnappers, Rachel lost her voice and was mistaken by the people of the northern castle as Kaiden’s fiancée.
Despite spending time with him, she struggled to tell him the truth—that she wasn’t his real bride—because she saw the pain he carried.
Kaiden, once thought to be the pride of his family due to his powers, had instead become a source of trouble when he lost control over them. Though rumors painted him as a cold and heartless man, the reality was far from it.
Behind the icy facade was a tender soul who loved flowers and adorable animals. In secret, he would read romance novels, dreaming of experiencing a love as genuine as the ones in the stories.
“I want to know what true love feels like.”
Despite his longing for love, no noblewoman dared to marry him, leaving him to endure a life of loneliness. When Rachel appeared, he finally gained a bride. However, his heart grew heavy as she refused to open up to him.
“I was afraid I’d hurt you. But now, I’m even more afraid of a world without you. I don’t think I could bear it.”
A man scarred by people. A woman scarred by people.
Can the two of them reveal their true selves and share their sincere feelings with each other?
