Summary
Born into nobility but condemned as a ‘Demon Child’ for her striking heterochromatic eyes, Lady Claudia endured a life of isolation and scorn, confined to a desolate shed. Despite the cruelty, she clung to a desperate hope: her father’s scheme to secure her a place as Crown Princess. Claudia poured her heart into rigorous training, determined to prove her worth. But her fragile dreams shattered when the arrogant Crown Prince Arwin publicly annulled their engagement, choosing instead the newly incarnated ‘Maiden Light’—the legendary savior of their world. His cruel mockery pushed Claudia to the brink of despair, almost to the point of no return. Just as all hope seemed lost, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows: Margrave Graham. He not only rescued her from the precipice but, astonishingly, offered his hand in marriage, whisking her away to his secluded castle. Yet, as twilight descends upon her new home, Graham’s own dreadful secret begins to unfurl. A terrifying curse manifests, transforming him in the darkness. ‘Did she witness me in such a monstrous state…?!’ This is the beginning of a dark, enchanting tale where a discarded noblewoman finds an unexpected destiny with a cursed aristocrat.
