Laritte Brumayer, the abused illegitimate daughter of a count, is sent to marry Duke Ian Reinhardt after he is killed and labeled a traitor. Escaping her abusive family to a broken-down villa in the mountains, she's ecstatic about her new life—until her supposedly dead husband returns, very much alive, and claims he was framed. The official synopsis describes a simple romance, but what sets this fantasy manhwa apart is its calm, slow-burn storytelling that prioritizes healing over heavy drama. It's not an isekai or a regression story; Laritte is just a poor soul trying to survive. The art style is beautiful and soft, and while the initial premise is unique, the story eventually leans into familiar otome isekai tropes like political intrigue and balls. It's a lightweight, romantic fantasy with a dark-skinned male lead and no second male lead. For fans of healing romance stories like Another Typical Fantasy Romance or Father, I Don't Want This Marriage.
