As a plain, unassuming noble's daughter, Marielle doesn't stand out in high society. Imagine her surprise when she receives a marriage proposal from the sought-after Simeon, second-in-command of the Royal Order of Knights!
Simeon, the heir to an earldom, is highly accomplished in scholarly and military arts-and he's gorgeous. So why did he propose to such an unremarkable noblewoman?
Despite being a target of envy and scorn, Marielle is happy. After all, Simeon seems to be exactly her type: a dashingly handsome man with glasses who appears gentle on the outside, but who has a dark and scheming side!
Welcome to Marielle's world, where people aren't always what they seem-and a prim, proper exterior can hide the heart of a sly and devious fangirl!

With only days left before her wedding, Marielle manages to evade her captors by careening down the river in an out-of-control boat. Simeon rescues his bride-to-be, though some very important objects are lost to the current: the rings! And not just their wedding rings, but also an exorbitantly expensive commission crafted for Duke Silvestre. Marielle feels compelled to apologize, so she, along with Simeon, Nigel, and Lutin, make their way to the duke's seaside second home. However, when they arrive, the duke waves off the offer of monetary compensation-he would rather play a game with them. Just what kind of game does this knavish duke have in store?
