I am Christina. Suddenly, I've been arranged to marry into the Empire as the Saintess, in place of my half-sister. Though it was called a marriage, I was practically carted off like cattle, and just as I was wondering what was going on, I was transported past the imperial capital, where my husband-to-be, Emperor Maximilian, lives, and inexplicably taken to an old castle resembling a haunted house. And for some reason, I was told to live here... Wait, aren't I the Empress?

At first, I was surprised, but I figured it was a dream come true if it meant I didn't have to deal with bothersome empress duties! I started remodeling the old castle to my heart's content, aiming for a comfortable, slow-paced life and embarking on my second life! Just as I was enthusiastically settling into my castle life, Maximilian showed up, seemingly reluctant, claiming I needed to sign the marriage contract! My homeland's movements also seem suspicious, and I have a bad feeling I'm about to get entangled in some trouble!
