Ash, a young man who once flourished as a Captain in the Imperial Knights and was engaged to a noblewoman, was living a life envied by all—smooth sailing and successful. However, one day, he was handed both a broken engagement and an order of expulsion from the Imperial Knights. Utterly disillusioned, Ash leaves the Empire and journeys toward the new world of the Rosabelle Kingdom. In this nation, which has surpassed the Empire in prosperity thanks to the power of its dungeons, Ash restarts his life as a Hunter. He quickly makes a name for himself, rising through the ranks with his overwhelming strength. Meanwhile, his junior, Ulka, who deeply respects him, chases after Ash and heads toward the Kingdom. The tale of reversal that will repaint a gray life is now beginning.
“Who are you?” — Aria finds a sword pointed at her by Fenrir, the emperor famed for his cold cruelty. Wait… isn’t this the wedding-night scene where she gets killed off right at the beginning of the story!? The shocking scene is from a novel I once read. —Have I become that Aria? Among the memories flooding into her mind, she sees it: scorned as “that accursed black-haired girl,” treated as worlds apart from her younger sister. A doll-like expression, her heart long since shut away. “If I get killed like this, it’s far too tragic for both Aria and me!” Casting off a past steeped in malice, she bravely lifts her gaze and steps forward. That unwavering resolve begins to ignite a flame within the frozen heart of the so-called “Cold-Blooded Emperor.” A “substitute bride” who slowly unravels the lonely king’s guarded heart. A girl who was never meant to be loved— now finds herself dyed in true love. [Original Webtoon](https://mechacomic.jp/books/251215)
