Synopsis
All the dark and offensive rumors about Serena Serenity sound true. Her body is too fragile and thin, her behavior is despotic and insolent, and she feels suffocated in her marriage. Despite this, the truth takes a little sleep from her. As the only heiress of the Hotel Serenity elite, she married an influential man named Eiser Leinz Grayan to save her family's legacy. But their union is merely by desire and whim of her grandmother. She never wanted to marry a man she doesn’t love.

As a final act of rebellion, she brings in Frederick Bloom, a handsome and obedient man who fulfills each of her desires. She flaunts him openly before all the aristocrats.
