The Unsociable Duke Adores His New Wife

Minerva’s life takes an unexpected turn when her engagement to the Crown Prince is abruptly annulled. Yet, her time as a rejected bride is remarkably short-lived. She soon finds herself betrothed to Duke Mars, the King’s own brother and a man whose beauty and noble standing are entirely without equal. On paper, it is a match that would inspire envy throughout the kingdom, elevating Minerva to one of the highest positions in the realm. However, the reality of marrying the Duke is far more daunting than his illustrious title suggests. Duke Mars is widely known for his profound misanthropy, carrying a reputation as a cold and unsociable figure who shuns high society. He rarely graces social gatherings with his presence and is never seen offering even the faintest smile to those around him. As Minerva steps into this new role as his wife, she must navigate the complexities of a union with a man who seems to despise the world itself. With such a distant and enigmatic partner, the future of their marriage remains deeply uncertain, leaving everyone to wonder what fate truly awaits her behind the closed doors of the Duke’s estate.
