Sometimes even I myself think that perhaps dying quietly would be the best thing for everyone. Until I met the light of my life, Thomas Claire, the youngest major officer of the Royal Musketeer Battalion.

For the sake of revenge, she drugged her sister's fiancé and slept with her future brother-in-law. After a night of passion, she left without saying goodbye, leaving him fuming and powerless.

Wait, what? How was she supposed to walk away from this marriage now?
