“I don't think of her as my wife. It's just for the sake of appearances.”

Cornelia Odile Blant, the wife of the Duke Blant.
Though she was never loved by her husband, she gave her all and tried her best.

She endured everything, from her mother-in-law's abuse and harassment, to the servants who consistently ignored her, and even the woman who flirted with the Duke as if she were his wife, all while trying to be a good daughter-in-law!

All because she wanted to be recognized as a wife by her husband, Erich.

However, what came back after her long efforts was...

"The Duke wishes to marry Lady Arzen, so now you must disappear."

Her husband's betrayal and the death of her child.

The moment Cornelia fell into despair and ended her life, she returned to seven years ago when she was pregnant with a child.

"This time, Mom will definitely protect you."

When she proposed divorce to her husband, she received an unexpected response...

"I said we can't divorce now that there's a child between us."

And suddenly, her husband's attitude changed.

"What's wrong? Do you not like the gift?"
"I'm just saying it out of concern."

However, she no longer wavered. She now knew that the sun she had been following was nothing but an illusion.

‘So I'm going to end my time as the wicked wife, Cornelia.’

One day soon, she will leave the duchy. <<less
