Lady Annabel, daughter of a Count, married Brian, the son of a Marquis, after he passionately pursued her. ...Or so she believed. "I will never love you." The moment their wedding night ended, Brian revealed his true nature. He had a lover whom he couldn't marry due to status differences, and Annabel was merely chosen as a facade. All the love he had whispered until then was a lie... Even if she wanted to resist, she couldn't hope for a white marriage, having lost her virginity, nor could she push back strongly, as her family relied on his financial support. Annabel had no choice but to spend her days idly as a figurehead wife. Brian forbade her from attending social gatherings or tea parties, forcing her to seclude herself in the mansion, and she spent her days in gloom. However, because Annabel was quietly obedient, she was gradually allowed to go out. Yet, Annabel was poor at lying in conversations, making it difficult for her to interact with people. Troubled, she began pursuing hobbies that required as little conversation as possible, such as art appreciation and theatergoing. Despite often feeling down, Annabel gradually began to change her perspective after being invited out by Melania, a friend since her debutante days... Before she knew it, Annabel had forgotten all about her husband, immersed herself in her hobbies, and began to live freely.
