The Contract Bride Who Melted the Marquis’s Heart

Lady Lilia of House Macbeth has always been looked down upon for her weak magic. Though she’s born a noble and a mage, her power is so faint that everyone calls her useless.

One day, by the temple’s decree, she’s chosen as a sacrificial bride. A girl with weak magic offered to marry a noble in exchange for granting him a new magical skill. Her destined partner? The fearsome Marquis Ryzas Geld, a man known across the battlefield for his cold heart and unmatched strength.

Everyone assumes he’ll receive a powerful combat skill to make him even deadlier. But when the ritual ends, the priest declares:

“The skill granted to the Marquis is… [Overwhelming Affection].”

The entire hall falls silent. Lilia is stunned. Ryzas, the ruthless marquis feared by all, just stares at her, before suddenly becoming unbelievably sweet and clingy.

What was supposed to be a loveless political marriage turns into an unexpectedly adorable and heart-melting newlywed life.

A romantic fantasy of an icy marquis who falls hopelessly for his “sacrificial bride” begins!
