The grandson of a junk dealer and the beggar princess got married. Lasting for two years, they were to engage in a contract marriage to fulfill their respective interests. An aspiring naval officer and wealthy man, a grandchild of a junk dealer who is despised solely due to his humble bloodline despite his golden success. Bastian Klauvitz needed a stepping stone for a successful life and revenge. A fallen aristocrat who can only relive the glory of the past, a princess who makes a living through manual labors even though she has the blood of the imperial family flowing within her. Odette von Dyssen needed money to start a new life. Both thought it was a beneficial deal, until something unexpected happened. "You ruined the most precious thing to me, so it's only fair if you lose something equally precious, too. Am I wrong?" Bastian decided to hold her responsible for the damage that occurred. Hate, resentment, regret, even the name of this damn woman. For the sake of a complete end where everything was burned white and faded.
