After losing her parents in an unfortunate accident, Edith was taken in by her father’s family, the Oak Ridge Earl’s family, where she was treated coldly by her uncle and aunt, who became her stepparents, and her cousin Dahlia, who became her stepsister.
One day, the Oak Ridge Earl’s family received a marriage proposal from Lionel, the eldest son of the Granvelle Marquis family, to whom the Earl’s family owes a large amount of money. This marriage proposal actually had a reason, and at the meeting, Dahlia was horrified at the sight of Lionel, who was ill, and begged her parents, and as a result, Edith was engaged to Lionel instead of her.
“I’m sorry, but you’re engaged to me. The doctor told me I only have one year left to live, so I don’t think we’ll make it to marriage. I’m sorry, but could you just bear with me for a year? You can think of it as a one-year engagement contract.”
Edith begins to support the sincere Lionel who says this. While it is said that magical powers were almost lost from this world long ago, Edith actually had a special ability inherited from her parents.
Since Edith began to support Lionel, he has made a miraculous recovery and gradually begins to regain his former handsome appearance. He has become completely doting on Edith… It’s a love.
Story with a happy ending .
Nonetheless, I found it enjoyable despite its simplicity. Its brief length and straightforward writing make it a refreshing break from longer, more complex novels that can feel never-ending. Typically, I lose interest before the conclusion of Chinese novels, but this one is concise enough to finish within an hour or two.
If you're seeking a leisurely, no-brainer read, especially for a beach day or a quick escape, give this book a try.
