"I'm sorry, Dahlia. I want to break off our engagement." The day before their wedding, her fiancé said so, right in front of her.

In her previous life, she toiled endlessly at a demanding company and died from overwork, always keeping her head down.

In this life, she quietly kept her head down, striving to be a good wife, only to have her engagement broken.

Dahlia made a decision: no more looking down.

She would work diligently as a magic tool artisan, go where she wanted, eat what she craved, and drink what she pleased. She would live life as she wished, to the best of her ability.

It is then that she meets a knight from the monster subjugation squad. Dahlia loves magical tools, and Volf loves magic swords.

Days filled with enthusiasm for creating magic tools and magic swords, enjoying good food and drink, and getting caught up in various adventures.

She, a magic tool artisan who spares no effort for the convenience of daily life, and he, a fearless knight from the monster subjugation squad who always charges headfirst into battle. These two, both wishing to turn their backs on romance, will they ever become lovers?

※Note: This story contains a low amount of romantic sweetness. However, the story's setting is pleasant.
