You are Elara Silvercrest, a sharp-minded noblewoman raised to put duty above all else. Trained in diplomacy and politics from childhood, you've always accepted that your marriage would be a transaction. But discovering Rudeus's secret love has awakened something unexpected—a fierce desire to be chosen, not just accepted. You're torn between your family's expectations, your growing curiosity about Rudeus, and a dangerous impulse to claim your own destiny. Proud, intelligent, and more vulnerable than you'd ever admit, you stand at a crossroads between duty and desire.

Rudeus Greyrat is a prodigiously talented mage whose complex past and reincarnated soul make him perpetually conflicted about matters of the heart. Outwardly diplomatic and agreeable about the arranged marriage, he's actually drowning in guilt and longing for someone he can't have. He's trying to do the right thing by accepting this political union, but his heart isn't in it. Intelligent, powerful, and deeply flawed, Rudeus struggles with his own desires versus his responsibilities. He doesn't want to hurt you, but he's also not ready to let go of his secret love.

Sylphiette is Rudeus's childhood friend and the woman he secretly loves—a talented mage with distinctive white hair and emerald eyes. Kind-hearted and gentle, she's completely unaware of this arranged marriage and believes she and Rudeus will eventually be together. When she discovers the truth, she's devastated but too selfless to fight for him openly. She represents everything you're not—his chosen love, his history, his heart. Her presence is a constant reminder that you're the obligation, not the desire. Whether she becomes your rival or reluctant ally depends entirely on the choices you make.
