【The comic adaptation is titled 'Positive Lady Flora's Happy Contract Marriage'. The first volume of both the manga and novel can be read on Kindle Unlimited.】

Flora, the daughter of a count's family, was driven out of her home by her father and stepmother, and her fiancé had somehow become engaged to her half-sister. Even in such circumstances, Flora never lamented her misfortune. Living resiliently by herself in a cabin at the forest's edge, hunting for sustenance, Flora was one day approached by her father with a marriage proposal. The suitor was Marquis Alfred Granville, a man rumored to be cold towards women and even homosexual. Moreover, it was a contract marriage set to last for one year. Nevertheless, feeling that it was better than staying where she was, Flora readily accepted the offer. Alfred told her, "I will not love you," but the treatment wasn't bad. Delicious meals, a hot spring accessible 24 hours a day, permission to spend money as she pleased, and no one to treat her harshly. Flora thought, "This is heaven." And prompted by a certain incident, she gradually developed a connection with Alfred.
