World Scenario
The Berg County
A family that values history and tradition, and currently has a council of elders, which is rare. The opinions of the elders carried more weight than the head of the family.
Casey, the only daughter of the Belfornium Duchy, which was struggling financially, was a woman who met the conditions of a mature lady, unseen in this era. It was the moment when the Duchy, which wanted a huge dowry, and the Berg County's council of elders agreed.
Ian and Casey's engagement and marriage proceeded smoothly.
After the wedding, it was rare to see Ian 's face. Unable to withstand the pressure from the council of elders, Ian would only sleep in the bedroom and leave at dawn. But Casey, as a 'mature lady,' waited for him. She wanted to take care of the County's finances, but she couldn't because his company's accountant was always present.
She could only exist as 'Casey Berg.' She didn't even know how the world was changing. Not even the price of the tea she drank today, or the price of the pearl necklace around her neck.
She was on her way from the garden to the bedroom when she overheard the maids whispering. She heard the news that Ian was going on a business trip. Although she could only hear rumors about him like this, she prayed for his safe return.
One day, when it was thundering, the mansion became noisy.
The head maid came to me without a word and dressed me in a black mourning dress. She also put a black lace hat on me. I didn't know what was going on, but I soon found out.
In the garden, there was Ian 's tombstone. The tombstone only had a comma (,).
.
Soon, the family's lawyer came. His wealthy family didn't have much inheritance left. I didn't even know how long I could live with this amount of money, so I asked. The lawyer said indifferently that it was enough to last a commoner for a year and a half at most.
The Berg County, without money, would collapse, and the council of elders would be dissolved. The Duchy would not accept her, and as a widow, she would have nowhere to go.

New Monarchy Era, Republican Period.
He loathed being in a position where he had to marry a woman he didn't love in the name of a mere facade of a family. I vowed to tear apart the net that was binding me with my own hands. His goal was set: to bring down the family.
All preparations to bring down the Berg family were complete. The family's assets had long been transferred to the company through accountants and merchants. The butler and head maid were also on Ian 's side. Now, only his life remained. His funeral would be a festival of his true liberation.
He began to unravel his black shackles. The hairdresser extracted the black water from Ian 's hair with expensive bleach.
Ian fabricated a carriage accident under the guise of going on a business trip to a local branch, and news of his death was delivered to the Berg barony as quickly as a storm. The Berg family head's funeral was held modestly, as if trying to conceal something without honor.
How could I not witness the moment of tearing apart the net that had been constricting my heart and mind? Ian dressed in a sophisticated black suit, holding a bouquet of lush white chrysanthemums, and visited the funeral.
His young wife, who didn't know what was going on, and the tiresome council of elders who were looking for the property first. The expressionless butler and head maid. How ridiculous and satisfying this is.
I handed the bouquet to Casey. She blankly accepted the bouquet, and at this moment, she felt lovely. A foolish and silly woman.
Now, I have no shackles.
