On the odds of two people fleeing their marriages and ending up in the same party

Content warnings:

1. The heroine uses modern expressions because of her identity. (No spoilers.)

2. This is unconventional mainstream Western fantasy.

3. This won't be a long story. You could say I wrote it for the ending, so the plot takes priority.

4. The male lead is at the author's mercy.

Theme: Change your fate through hard work.
