Aira, a commoner whose talent earned her a place as a royal court alchemist, lived a busy and fulfilling life at the palace. But everything comes to a sudden halt when the Second Prince, who refuses to acknowledge commoners, unceremoniously fires her. With nowhere else to turn, Aira opens a small apothecary in a corner of an inn owned by a friend, and before long, it becomes a huge success! Meanwhile, the Second Prince is left scrambling. The noble-born alchemist he installed as her replacement turns out to be thoroughly unremarkable, forcing him to devise a desperate comeback plan. The dazzling second act of a banished alchemist begins here, an otherworld apothecary fantasy, now open for business!

As the daughter of a count, Sarah is unable to socialize and is ostracized by aristocratic society because she has a condition which prevents her from recognizing faces. She is despised by her family and marries the infamous "Duke of Evil" as a substitute for her sister. Calyx is feared as an unfair husband, but he is actually the complete opposite of that! She received a gift of a custom-made dress and a first date holding her hand with a kind word that made her bewildered. For the first time in her life, he treated her like a princess, and the burn mark on his face, which everyone abhors, became the only mark that could distinguish him from others and endear him to her. This is a sweet Cinderella story of an unfortunate young lady who finds her place in the world, doted upon by the "evil duke!"
