Synopsis

[A true substitute romance, with the male lead being a real jerk at first and humbly chasing his wife later; the heroine endures in silence at first, then saves the nation through industry; patriotism and devotion to country; devoted to each other, happy ending]

She was a stand-in for the moonlight in his heart, and the sharpest thorn in his splendid empire.

Their first meeting began with a contract. From then on, she became someone else’s shadow. He gave her fine clothes and delicious food, but also inflicted humiliation that cut to the bone. Later, a so-called “accidental” fire consumed all her foolish hopes, and she resolved to leave for another land. Only then did he realize that the substitute he had once cast aside like trash had long since become the cinnabar mark on his heart, one that would never heal...

If I tear this splendid gown to shreds, will you still be able to see who is really standing before you?

Once, I thought you were her shadow. Only later did I realize that she was the only remnant of you in my memories.
