Official Details
After losing her mother, Grace was left entirely alone, forced to survive on the unforgiving streets as an orphan. With nothing left to lose, she quietly awaited the end of her life until a miraculous encounter changed everything. An angelic young woman named Penelope Erdonia took her in, offering Grace not just shelter but a reason to live once more. Bound by deep gratitude, Grace devoted herself to protecting the only person who had ever shown her true kindness. Their fragile peace is shattered when a prestigious marriage proposal arrives for Penelope from the Duke of Pelton, the formidable head of the era’s most powerful family. However, dark whispers shadow the Duke's grand offer. Rumors circulate that every woman who has previously traveled to the Pelton estate to wed him has either vanished without a trace or returned with a fractured mind. Terrified for Penelope’s safety and unwilling to let such a sinister fate befall her savior, Grace makes a desperate decision. To shield the innocent girl from the Duke's mysterious curse, she steps forward to take her place, offering herself as his bride instead.
