"Your magic is not a blessing but a curse that will destroy everyone!"
Kathleen's life has been a series of relentless trials. Abandoned by her family as a child, she was left to endure abuse and neglect in an orphanage. At seven, a mysterious man stormed into her life, adopting her and offering a glimmer of hope. Yet peace was fleeting.
However, Kathleen was kidnapped by a group of evil wizards. They subjected her to relentless torment, forcing her to wield her magic to harm others until she was pushed to the brink of death.
But when Kathleen opened her eyes again, she was ten years old-reliving the past. Armed with knowledge of the future, she vowed to change her fate and protect the people who had shown her love and kindness. To secure her future, Kathleen boldly proposed a contract marriage to the son and heir of the infamous Garand Duke Residence-a lineage renowned for its ruthless and chilling reputation.
She never expected her life to change so drastically after marriage.
A father-in-law like this:
"Well, you might be a wizard, but from now on, you are the Lady of the House."
"But I've just gotten married... and-"
"No more ands. There's no Grand Duchess here. That role is yours now."
"I'll try my best."
"No need to try so hard. This house is yours-find your way to enjoy it."
And a husband like this:
"While I'm gone, I give you all my authority."
"What...?"
"Before I return, I want you to turn this house upside down."
As Kathleen adjusts to the bewildering dynamics of her new life, she begins to uncover the dark secrets lurking within the Grand Duke Household. Yet, no matter the trials, she is determined to protect her new family and finally carve out a life filled with love and hope.
