Every wife wishes for her husband’s success.
For him to gain more wealth and power.
So that their household might become more stable.
But Rona never wished for any of that.
The more her husband, Anark, succeeded, the more he made a name for himself as a hero, the deeper Rona, his wife, was buried in the mire.
Ignored and treated coldly by society, Rona desired only one thing:
The love of her husband, Anark.
Though he had only married her due to her parents’ dying wish, Rona had always longed for his heart.
Yet Anark, now a nobleman, remained cold only to her… his wife.

It was only after she was diagnosed with a terminal illness and caught her husband having an affair that she resolved to finally give up on the marriage.
So, she demanded a divorce…
“Divorce? You said you’d die if we were apart. And you still want to divorce me?”
Apparently, a priest had said she could only stay alive by sleeping with her husband.

With hazy eyes, Rona trembled and spoke back through her tears.
“Ugh… I-I’ll take care of my illness on my own…”
She couldn’t believe it.
This man… who had never once touched her after their wedding… Why only now, after she decided to leave…?
The sorrow overwhelmed her, and a sob escaped.
Like a wounded, fragile creature, Rona shook as she turned her head away.
Then, growling like a threat, the man sank his teeth into the nape of her pale neck.
“Where do you think you’re going? If you want to live, you better be grateful and take it.”
