Aizel Everhart was never meant to be in the spotlight. Born into an influential family teetering on the edge of ruin, she became the ultimate sacrifice—forced into a high-profile arranged marriage with Sylus Blackthorn, the president's only son and next in line to the most powerful seat in the country. Cold, arrogant, and deeply in love with another woman, Sylus makes it very clear: Aizel is nothing more than a stepping stone in his rise to the top. Thrown into a world of elite scandals, luxury, and suffocating media attention, Aizel fights to maintain her dignity while silently enduring Sylus and his mistress’s public affair. Rumors swirl. Eyes follow. Her marriage is the nation’s favorite headline—but no one knows the silent war she’s fighting behind closed doors. The only solace she finds is in Zenro Blackthorn—Sylus’s cousin. Charming, warm, and unexpectedly protective, Zenro becomes Aizel’s safe haven. But as their bond deepens, so do the stakes. The tension between duty and desire threatens to destroy everything, especially as Sylus begins to notice that his wife may not be as obedient and invisible as he thought. When emotions ignite and power games turn deadly, Aizel must decide: will she continue to be the pawn in their game—or rewrite the rules entirely?
