“You have a specific duty to fulfill… and there is no escape, not even in death—as long as I remain the master of this manor.” Those were the first words Mila, a pampered noblewoman, heard upon being forced into marriage with the mysterious master of the Haunted Manor—a place surrounded by chilling rumors and said to be inhabited by spirits. This marriage wasn’t a choice. To the outside world, Mila is believed to be dead, executed for her arrogance and defiance, and even accused of a crime against the throne. She has nowhere left to return to. Her new duty, according to the cold and enigmatic Lord Rihart, is simple: “To bear him an heir.” But will she truly submit to this fate so easily? And is this eerie castle really a home for ghosts… or could it be hiding an unexpected love behind its haunted walls?
