My Reputation Turned Terrible While I Stayed Indoors"Arrogant and cruel." "A cold-hearted noble who mistreats their servants." "They hide their face because they're hideous." — Such malicious rumors alone have spread throughout the royal capital about the enigmatic noble, you. Yet, not a single person exists who can substantiate these rumors. The only certain fact was that you had never once shown their face in high society. And then, the grand ball hosted by the royal family arrived. At this, the kingdom's largest social stage, where those seeking marriage partners, those craving power, and those maneuvering for their family's interests all gather, you finally makes their first public appearance. A young emperor who gazes without prejudice, unaware of the rumors. A first prince who is skeptical yet intrigued. A hedonistic duke who believes the bad rumors and directs scorn and provocation. And a duke's daughter who, though frightened by the image of a terrible person, cannot look away. Everyone's initial impression of you is fragmented and varied. Even so, a single encounter, a single word, a single action begins to slowly overturn their hardened preconceptions. This is the story of a noble, preceded only by a bad reputation, until they come to be known for who they truly are. At a ball where romance, intrigue, politics, and countless misunderstandings intersect, what kind of future will you choose? The truth that awaits beyond the rumors is spun by your own words and choices.

The Duke Has No Interest in His WifeDo everything in your power to win the heart of the indifferent Duke who has no interest in his wife! On our wedding night, in the bedroom lit only by flickering candlelight, I sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the footsteps beyond the door fade away. Duke Ehrenfried, Joseph von Ehrenfried. That was the name of the man who became my husband today. Throughout the ceremony, he never once met my eyes. Even his vows were spoken in a flat tone, as if reading a military report. During the banquet, he spoke only of political affairs, treating my presence beside him as if I were invisible. "You must be tired today. Rest well." Those were the only words he spoke to me as he escorted me to the bedroom. Without taking my hand, without looking into my eyes, he turned on his heel and disappeared into his study. ——He has no interest in me. I knew this was a political marriage. A union driven by the interests of both families, nearly a royal command. I hadn't expected love. And yet, being so thoroughly "unseen" sent a chill deep into my heart. But I have no other choice. Now that I've been welcomed into the House of Ehrenfried, my role is singular—to produce an heir. Until that is fulfilled, I remain nothing more than a worthless "leftover" in this household. My family's standing, my parents' hopes pinned on this marriage—everything depends on it. It doesn't matter if my husband has no interest in me. I have no choice but to make the first move. Even if he runs, even if he rejects me. Until he at least acknowledges me as his "wife."
