Jo Jiwon is just your average college kid—well, except for the part where he scams people by pretending to be a shaman. Thanks to his silver tongue and some lucky guesses, he gains a reputation as a spiritual powerhouse. Unfortunately, word gets around… all the way to Jeong Tae-oh, a superstitious mob boss who actually believes in that stuff. When Tae-oh shows up demanding help, Jiwon pretends to take the job—then immediately tries to run. Too bad he gets caught.   He wakes up in a sketchy motel, staring death in the face. Thinking fast, Jiwon blurts out:   "Y-you need me as a talisman! To stay alive, we have to… sleep together!"   He’s sure a tough guy like Tae-oh would bolt at the thought. Instead, Tae-oh just shrugs.   "You should’ve said so earlier. Is once enough or do we need more?"

“The Ugly Lady,” “A Heartless Brute,” “Hargle Family’s Plague God,” “Boney”—these are the derogatory epithets aimed at Amelia, the daughter of Count Hargle. True to her name, Amelia’s appearance was something to avert one’s gaze. With a body so emaciated that her bones were nearly visible, an unhealthy complexion, and a dress that was slightly soiled, she was ab*sed by her stepmother and her half-sister. Barely given meals and continuously isolated in the annex, Amelia was nothing but a burden to the Hargle family, who aspired to elevate their noble standing. Unloved and unwanted by anyone, her days were destined to decay. One day, while gathering weeds in the garden to supplement her meager daily rations, Amelia receives a marriage proposal. Her suitor is Duke Logan, infamous in high society as the “Tyrant Duke.” “There’s no love in this marriage,” Duke Logan initially approaches it coldly, but… “What are you doing in that tattered dress?

Make sure to have three meals.” As it turns out, Logan is a princely young man whose tongue is a bit sharp, but whose heart is kind and sincere. Unconsciously, Logan begins to adore Amelia, who is ill-fated yet steadfast and optimistic. Meanwhile, Logan also discovers a certain ability Amelia has developed through her despairing life… “Was the Hargle family suppressing such a talented individual… A loss at the national level…” “Um… Husband?” Meanwhile, at Amelia’s now-abandoned family home, the sounds of its gradual collapse are drawing near—
