This story places us withCrystal Rotary, the youngest daughter of the Rotary family, a young lady with bright blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes like the sky and physically fragile, who never leaves the annex of the Rotary mansion. No one knows that such a maiden holds a great secret.
In the conflicting Rotary family, only women survive if they are born from a concubine of the Duke of Rotary; if the child born is a man, he will mysteriously die in some way, because the Duchess will not allow any bastard born from a concubine of her husband to be the heir and steal his position.
That is why Crystal's mother saved her life by raising her as a beautiful lady, living as if she were dead without attracting attention, pretending to be a fragile young woman. However, Crystal’s dream is to live a normal life, but to do so, she needs to escape the clutches of the Rotary family.
Having a plan in mind, Crystal proposes a contract marriage toArchduke Ilian Pentrin, the political enemy of the Rotary family. Crystal had no hope of receiving a positive response from the Archduke, but to her surprise he accepted the proposal, and unknowingly ended up married to this angelic man, but who really had a bad reputation within the Rotary family.

Opinion about Lady Crystal Is a Man
This manhwa is undoubtedly an atypical story, simply because the main couple is inverted in appearance. For some people, this plot of reversed roles is interesting, where Crystal, who is the male character, has a very delicate appearance worthy of typical romantic manhwa protagonists. While Ilian is completely masculine and without a standout personality, being she the woman. Both circumstances led them to be what they are throughout the story. The development of the plot advances appropriately and the art is undoubtedly wonderful. I recommend this story if you are looking for something a little unusual and if you like reversed roles.
