"In the Montaigne family, every child has a predestined role to fulfill. For Hazel, that role is to become the perfect wife."
As the year 1860 arrives, and the world rapidly transforms with the vibrancy of a new decade, the family of Alistair Gideon and Eleanor Vivienne remains trapped in an ancient tradition: the Arranged Marriage. Within the walls of their opulent mansion in Bulacan, Hazel Montaigne serves as the symbol of everything rose-colored, modest, and obedient.
Amidst her paintings, her favorite books, and her natural inclination for homemaking, Hazel has known her fate since before she was even born. It is a strict rule of their lineage that before she reaches the age of 25, she must have a husband chosen by her parents-a man who will take her hand to build a new family and carry on their prestigious status in society.
