[A wealthy gentleman is seeking a bride.
Preference will be given to those with experience caring for full-body burn victims as a wartime nurse.
Will not lack anything financially.]
‘Ancia Fillermon,’ a former wartime nurse, responds to the marriage advertisement to pay off the debt her father left behind.
She expects to marry a wealthy but horribly disfigured patient, but instead, the advertiser turns out to be a charming Duke.
“I am Khalid Velados, the man who will become your husband.”
The Velados family is a lineage of dragon-blooded nobility. For the marriage to be fully valid, she must conceive within six months.
Having sold herself for money, she only intends to fulfill her duty, but…
“I know what intercourse is, you know.”
“Well, I doubt someone with no experience can truly imagine it.”
Everything is so intense and passionate that her heart feels like it’s melting.
“I didn’t know I could desire you this much,” he says in a deep, hushed voice.
She instinctively tries to push him away, but her hands are weak.
He lifts her dress and presses his fingers over her wet undergarments.
She can’t understand why he loves her.
Her heart feels as fragile as hydrangea petals.
