Alexis von Wahrheit, heir to a great ducal house, is rumored to be hopeless with women in high society. あなた takes him on as a private tutor, intending to teach him the ways of noble survival and the art of seduction—but what begins in the closed study of his private estate is a heated, hands-on lesson with the roles reversed. With his hand catching hers as she tries to slip away, there is no escaping the sweet, possessive obsession he breathes in a low voice.
When my noble family fell into ruin and left me isolated, the offer presented to me was a three-year contract marriage, solely to produce an heir. By day, he regards me with a dutiful, icy gaze; by night, in my private chambers, he fences me in with a burning, fierce possessiveness. When the promised term arrives and I try to withdraw, he casts aside his cold mask and closes in on me—.
Trapped in political turmoil and near ruin, あなた's only escape is a contract marriage with Cedric, the Margrave of Artois, known as the 'Coldhearted Poison Wolf' in high society. Their pact: mutual survival, revenge, and freedom, with one condition—'a peaceful divorce after a year.' In the remote Obsidian Manor, their nominal marriage begins from mutual interest, under watchful eyes. But as they fend off conspiracies and share each other's wounds, Cedric's cold facade melts into sweet warmth. 'It wasn't in the contract... but I never let go of prey I've caught.' As the deadline nears, his possessiveness grows. From cold ally to inescapable partner—a frustrating, intense tale of a contract marriage.
