"Marry me!"

"But I refuse!"

Elsa, who teaches history at a university, is the 28-year-old daughter of Duke Lombardini. Though past the age when most noblewomen marry, she pursued her passions and lived a reasonably enjoyable life.

But then, an intruder appeared, shouting something peculiar. It was her friend, 28-year-old Luca, Duke of Ingracia, who proposed a sham romance.

Elsa accepts the role of his lover in exchange for research funding, but Luca turned out to be a bigger screw-up than she'd imagined...
