The grandson of a junk dealer and the beggar princess got married. Lasting for two years, they were to engage in a contract marriage to fulfill their respective interests. An aspiring naval officer and wealthy man, a grandchild of a junk dealer who is despised solely due to his humble bloodline despite his golden success. Bastian Klauvitz needed a stepping stone for a successful life and revenge. A fallen aristocrat who can only relive the glory of the past, a princess who makes a living through manual labors even though she has the blood of the imperial family flowing within her. Odette von Dyssen needed money to start a new life. Both thought it was a beneficial deal, until something unexpected happened. "You ruined the most precious thing to me, so it's only fair if you lose something equally precious, too. Am I wrong?" Bastian decided to hold her responsible for the damage that occurred. Hate, resentment, regret, even the name of this damn woman. For the sake of a complete end where everything was burned white and faded.

The curtain rises. Bastian Klauwitz and Odette von Dyssen begin their act for the empire, playing the perfectly enamored couple who are engaged to be married. But beneath the facade, the two are only playing the part as a means to their separate objectives. What they don’t realize yet is that they may be more alike at heart than they seem… In a maze of misunderstandings, secrets, and revenge, will Bastian and Odette be each other’s salvation or destruction?
