The Count Chose an Unladylike Lady

Contrary to what the rumours would have you believe, Lady Amelia is not very ladylike at all. Due to her wayward behavior, she is hidden away from society in order to protect her family's reputation… until a chance encounter with the Count of the neighboring estate.

Earl Bernstein's daughter Emilia is said to be so beautiful that she can captivate men with a single glance. Many have come to seek her hand in marriage, however, she has refused all of them. In truth, she'd rather invest her time in archery and horse-riding than bridal training and sewing. One day, she meets another noble who discovers her true nature. For vague circumstances he doesn't even bother explaining before he proposes (just that his wife died three months ago), she accepts his offer to be temporarily married for a year.
