Born as the illegitimate child of a count, Isabella endured abuse even from her own father, believing that her only worth lay in being sold off in the marriage market.

After being unilaterally dumped by her unfaithful fiancé, she fell into despair, feeling utterly useless.

On that very day, she happens to enter the home of a man she meets by chance.

“Ethan Holden, the duke—terrifyingly beautiful.”
But he harbors a shocking secret, like something out of a cruel fairy tale…

The man Isabella thought was her salvation says to her:

“Did you enjoy your walk?
Now, it’s time to return to the cage.”
