“P-Please, spare me… I’ll do anything…” Princess Renazia Italros of the Italros Kingdom. To conceal the identity of Prince Regnos, she was forced to serve as a slave princess. But perhaps such innocence only invites death. While wandering the palace, one of the cruel conquerors blocked her way and pressed his lips against hers, whispering: “Your thighs must tightly wrap around mine.” Too young to even understand what he meant, she could only sense how ominous his demand was, and she trembled at the thought of the fate awaiting her. That day was when Emperor Godfrey of Taringia conquered the Italros Kingdom.

Two days before the wedding, the bride disappeared. Taking the place of her missing twin sister and becoming a fake bride was Baek I-rim, the Baekhwa Group’s pet, known as ‘the woman who catches husbands.’ Half-reluctantly caught up in this mess, I-rim unintentionally spends the night with her sister’s intended fiancé, Ray K. Gray. The man, who knew from the start that she was a fake bride, flashed a dangerously breath-stealing smile. Let’s just enjoy ourselves, like that night long ago, until the real one returns. Don’t worry. The bad thing we do in bed can remain our lifelong secret. This is a sin. A terrible sin. That’s right. You’re my accomplice. Ray, who bit her earlobe in frustration, whispered with a fearsomely seductive voice. Shall we do it one more time? We can do it again when the time comes. Jump -

Determined to return to her own world at any cost, Anna ultimately accepts Rothbart’s proposal…
