Series by 松本帆加

Nina is a very poor maid who has married King Setis, a ruler feared as cold and tyrannical. Their newlywed life begins with affection but little progress beyond kissing. Setis invites Nina on a date, giving her a rare chance to enjoy time with him. The outing stirs her hopes while leaving their relationship awkwardly uncertain. The setup centers on a young bride trying to close the distance with her intimidating husband.

Nina is a desperately poor maid working constantly to repay the debt left by her father. A sudden marriage proposal reaches her from the feared first prince Setis. He needs a temporary bride to avoid marriage talks from another country. Nina accepts the hired role despite the prince's cold reputation. The arrangement begins as a practical bargain but places her inside royal danger and unexpected intimacy.

Nina, once a poor maid, is now married to Setis, the king of Vardel, and enjoys a loving but busy life as his queen. Eager for quality time, they embark on a long-awaited honeymoon, starting with a luxurious cruise and a visit to Setis's childhood villa. During their travels, Nina discovers new facets of Setis, whose usual tyrannical demeanor softens, deepening their bond. Their romantic getaway takes them to nostalgic places, like the Paradi market, where they face and resolve local issues together.
