"I must love the Saintess. Therefore, I will not love you."

Upon being told this by Emperor Yuri, my soon-to-be husband, I resolve to live out my days quietly as a queen in name only.

However, when the Saintess was finally summoned... what? The Saintess is 5 years old?

What's more, she was utterly terrified, her body showing signs of abuse.

Suppressing my aching heart, I make a firm decision.

"I will shower this child with abundant love!"

The Saintess (5 years old), wounded in both body and heart, is doted on and loved endlessly by Edeline, growing up happily and healthily, and incidentally, achieving unmatched feats in various areas.

As this unfolds, Emperor Yuri's attitude also begins to change...?

＊This is the serialized version of the short story "I was told I wouldn't be loved because the Saintess was coming, so I dedicated myself to being a queen in name only, but my husband and the Saintess seem strange," which ranked #1 overall monthly.
