"She's your wife. She's yours. Play with her until you get bored." Is that something you should say to a 10-year-old son, mother-in-law? My young husband had a stutter. A face covered in snake scales. Hands marked with burn scars. I diligently cared for such a husband by his side. "Keep eating. You need to eat a lot to grow taller than me." "D-Do I have to be t-taller than you, Lady Cheria? I-I like that you're t-taller than me..." But was I too diligent? Where did my soft and squishy husband who used to dip healing items with me go, and why has he turned into a slightly crazy person? "Did they die? That makes the job easier." "Pardon?" "I mean, I think people who talk about life as if it's worthless are trash." Is he watching my reaction, or is he done?

Upon waking up in a novel, Cheria Mayol is sold into marriage by her abusive family. Her betrothed is the main villain, Kivrin Nectarian, who has been locked up and declared a monster. But when Cheria sees how sweet and meek the boy is, she resolves to raise him into a good person. Using her wits and charm, she devises a plan to escape the manor where they are confined and wins the hearts of her new family. With her in-laws now on her side, can Cheria save Kivrin and find their happy ending?

"This is your wife. She is yours. Play with her until you get bored." Mother-in-law, is that really something you should be saying to your barely 10-year-old child? My young husband stutters. Has a face with scales on it. Hands with scars on it. I worked hard to look after my husband who looked like that. "Keep eating. You have to eat a lot so you can be taller than me." "Do I have to be taller than Cheria?" "…" "I-I like that Cheria is taller than me…" Did I work too hard? Where did my soft and squishy husband who used to be so fluffy go? Instead he just became a slightly insane man. "Did they die? It’s become easier now." "...What?" "People who look at human lives like they were bugs. That's the type of person I think is trash." Is he watching what he does around me?
