The Empire’s Golden Apple, famed as the future Crown Princess—Applin von Hafen.
Her long-time lover, the Crown Prince, breaks up with her after having an affair with a commoner,
and soon after, she hears the devastating news that her father has been captured by rebels of a foreign nation and taken hostage.
“Is there really… no way left to save my father?”
“There is. But it depends on the young lady’s choice.”
In order to borrow the money needed to save her father,
she enters into a deal with Lucent Blackcarson, an infamous and notorious bank president.
“I want to marry Lady Applin.”
Instead of simply lending her the money,
he proposes a marriage of convenience.
With no other option left, Applin ultimately accepts his offer.
“Please help me become a wife who is loved, a good mother.”
“I, too, have very high expectations for the family I will build anew.”

Meanwhile, after taking Applin as his wife, Lucent is met with an unexpected request.
“Lucent, we got married without any dating period.”
“Are you suggesting we start dating now, belatedly?”
“Yes. I know our marriage was formed by contract, but I was hoping it could be a little more… less cold.”
Clenching her fists, Applin passionately poured out her thoughts to Lucent.
Lucent found her 모습 both adorable and amusing, and felt like he could watch her forever.
“I hate vague arrangements. So—how long is this dating period?”
“One month.”
