Luna Winterbourne’s life felt utterly suffocating ever since her father hired Matteo Vicenzo as her bodyguard. The man was far too possessive, as if he had no understanding of the word privacy. Shockingly, something humiliating happened on the night of her engagement. Someone set her up, and Luna ended up in the same bed as Matteo. The incident enraged her father, leading to Luna’s expulsion and Matteo’s disgraceful dismissal.

As time passed, Luna finally softened to Matteo’s sincerity. Love blossomed between them, until the day Matteo revealed who he truly was!

The Kumiho my father chose for me hated me. He hated that he was my pet. When I turned eighteen, I decided to give him his freedom. However, it turned out that he was in love with one of our servants’ daughters, Rachel Lenford. I was crushed, but I could only accept it.

My adopted brother made a name for himself during the potion competition by using a potion he had stolen from me. No one expected the competition to be a ruse, but it turned out to be a scheme to find a husband for the serpent clan's youngest princess. She was born barren, cruel, and hideous.

If no one marries you by then, you'll be randomly matched to one of those older, violent nomad beastwomen." He was wrong. I still had one choice left. I found my parents in the front hall, once again cleaning up the mess he had made. "If he won't marry the serpent princess," I said, "then I will."
