Anna, who had been abused by her family and fiancé, found herself embroiled in an incident that the Prince was investigating at the academy.

As she had been injured as an unmarried noblewoman and had provided crucial testimony in the case, Anna was to be rewarded, and she requested the annulment of her engagement.

Expected to be emaciated and deeply scarred emotionally... Anna, however, proved to be surprisingly resilient.

While she was eating heartily and recuperating, a new fiancé was introduced to her, both for her safety and due to a mutual alignment of interests.

This is a story about Anna, who becomes engaged to Philip — the nation's hero, excelling in both academic and martial arts, strikingly handsome, yet famously cold towards women — and how the heart of the man known as the 'Ice Prince' melts surprisingly easily.
