The Seventh Marriage Awaits

Agatha Novilis possesses everything: immense wealth, sharp intellect, undeniable power, and breathtaking beauty. As the Emperor’s goddaughter and the Crown Prince’s childhood friend, her life seems a gilded dream. Yet, her romantic history is famously tumultuous, marked by six marriages and six divorces. Despite this, she remains the most sought-after bride on the continent, her next move eagerly anticipated. For her seventh husband, Agatha makes an unexpected choice: Marquis Enoch Aratus, the twenty-year-old war hero who ended a decade of conflict. He’s handsome, noble, and commands respect, but lacks the vast fortune Agatha controls. Her conditions for marriage are starkly pragmatic: ‘Protect me from assassins. Respect me as your wife. And build a separate residence for yourself.’ Enoch’s bewildered reply—’I can only imagine what kind of marriage you’ve endured until now’—reveals the depth of Agatha’s past struggles. Having navigated countless treacherous schemes targeting her inheritance, Agatha yearns for a life of peace and simplicity. Can Marquis Enoch Aratus be the partner who finally offers her the tranquil, ordinary existence she has always yearned for? Read Chapter 1 to find out!
