Abigail, the only daughter of a baron's family, is twenty-four years old. Since a certain day at the age of fifteen, she had given up on love and marriage and lived quietly at home. One day, to protect her childhood friend, Ted, Abigail suffers a severe injury to her forehead. The one who caused the injury is the hero known as the 'Apostle of Slaughter,' Lord Gilbert Egan. Unwillingly, Gilbert, who had been looking for a partner for a sham marriage, decides to ask Abigail to play the role of his temporary wife. 'With such a scar on her forehead, it will be difficult for that girl to find a husband. Perhaps she could play the role of my temporary wife.' Abigail, thinking that it would help her childhood friend who fled from the baron's sword, agrees to the marriage proposal. Thus, a loveless contract marriage is formed. Abigail, who had no hope in life, begins to gain courage and a goal through marriage. Gilbert, touched by Abigail's kindness, gradually feels his cold and hardened heart soften. Enjoy the bittersweet newlywed life of Abigail, who had given up on love and marriage due to her secret, and Gilbert, the Apostle of Slaughter who believed in living without trusting anyone and having nothing to lose. * Currently being adapted into a manga on Gangan Online. © Syuu All Rights Reserved.
