Synopsis: Irasshaimase Sayounara Dannasama: 1-nen de Rikon desu Hazu ga Otto no Dokusenyoku ga Tomarimasen

Diana married the elderly Marquis Casper for certain reasons and lived a peaceful, happy married life. But Casper suddenly died in a carriage accident, leaving Diana a young widow. Consumed by grief, she intended to leave everything to his grandson Albert and his lover and follow Casper in death. Yet the will that was opened revealed a shocking condition: the inheritance of the title and estate depended on “one year of marriage between Albert and Diana.” To honor the late Casper's trust, Diana accepted the contractual marriage, vowing to watch over Albert until he could stand alone as the heir. Meanwhile, Albert, who knew Diana only through rumors calling her a “wicked woman,” suspected her motives were for the inheritance and treated her coldly. Yet, as Diana selflessly supported him despite her own pain, Albert's heart gradually began to waver. He found himself drawn to her... Crossed hearts, past wounds, and a state conspiracy over the inheritance intertwine, propelling the story toward an unexpected turn... A heart-stirring dramatic romance that begins with a contract marriage. (Source: SHERPA STUDIO, translated)
