【Adaptation into a novel and manga currently in progress】

"My father scorned me. Not only did he offer no help when my sister took my fiancé, but he even commanded me to marry a man with the worst reputation, known as the 'Duke of Ugliness.' Oh, how — thrilling!"

Having been excessively tormented since childhood, Lucretia displayed an absurdly positive mindset, believing this was yet another trial born of love, and departed for the Duke of Ugliness as she was told.

However, the man who welcomed her was utterly unlike the amusing figure described in rumors, and something seemed off.

—My? This gentleman seems perfectly fine, doesn't he?

She had anticipated enjoyable trials, but there was no indication of any such thing. The 'Duke of Ugliness' regained his true form and became the very embodiment of happiness.

Meanwhile, Lucretia's former family and ex-fiancé only realized how crucial a role she had played after she was gone, but by then it was too late, and the entire kingdom headed towards ruin.
