Being just an illegitimate daughter, Mia was forced by her father to marry a man nine years older than her for her family business.
Her husband Alfred was of noble birth, destined to be surrounded by upper-class people under the spotlight.
Life after marriage was dull like water. They lived under the same roof as strangers.
He seemed never to care about her.

He even refused his father's order to divorce by announcing Mia was his wife.
His ardent love for her, however, had attracted others' hatred. Seeing the insurmountable gap between them, Mia was backed to the corner.
"We can still be friends even after we get divorced!"
He hugged her tightly and said, "How can I be a friend with the woman who I fell in love at first sight!"
