Yvette, eldest daughter of the Marquis Cleaves, has always dreamed of “bearing and raising the children of the man she loves,” just like the mother she admires. One day, she is told that her fiancé has died in battle. At his funeral, the crown prince cruelly declares that she is a “barren, damaged woman” and orders her to marry Duke Owen Langford, a man feared as a “war‑madman.” To protect House Cleaves, Yvette accepts the political marriage—only to discover that Owen already has three children. The children, unable to accept a new stepmother, scheme to drive her out of the house. Can Yvette overcome their rejection and misunderstandings to become a true family with them? And what hidden truth lies behind this arranged marriage?
