I found myself wedded to a man who already had a lover. So, I took it upon myself to safeguard his purity. "You can sleep on the floor," I said, trying to hide my disappointment. But his eyes revealed his reluctance. "Well, I guess the floor will have to do," I sighed, knowing it was too late to change anything. "I'll just hold your hand and sleep. You trust me, right?" I asked, hoping for some reassurance. However, my first night with my husband turned out to be a disaster as the bed broke. Aristine, a princess kept hidden from the Emperor's view, possessed a unique ability - the Monarch's Sight. She could see into the past, present, and future. But unfortunately, she was forced into a political marriage and given away to a fearsome barbarian. The most valuable possessions should have been bestowed upon her, but her husband turned out to be surprisingly normal. However, he belonged to someone else. "I'll go make some money then," Aristine declared, determined to make the best of her situation. She might as well claim the goldfields as her own. Could she truly achieve her dream of living freely with a pile of riches? Or would she end up killing two birds with one stone? Only time would tell.
