A young lady born as a twin was hidden from the world and never even given a name—simply called "Nameless" because twins were considered unlucky. Raised like a servant, she secretly found small joys, inspired by her nursemaid's words to become a "happiness master." One day, a marriage proposal meant for her older sister is forced upon her. She must marry the infamous cold-hearted duke, Silvance, in her sister's place. Rushed through lessons to impersonate her sister, she arrives at the ducal estate expecting the worst. But the first words she hears from him are unexpected: "If you can maintain a platonic marriage for two years, I will grant you a divorce." Embracing her new life as an ornamental wife, she finds it far more comfortable than her childhood home. Grateful, she tries to help soothe her husband's work fatigue—and soon, he begins visiting her daily, his cold smile warming into something unexpectedly tender.

ugh I know she was raised as a doormat but I thought she was changing a little bit but nope we’re back to her being a doormat
I have problem with this. ML doesn't have any reason to love FL. He just does. I would understand pitying her, or feeling empathy or thinking she isn't a bad person... But the story made quite the leap straight to love and obsession without any real development for readers to see it building to that.
I usually hate that it takes too many chapters for first scene that was shown as a taster to appear, but this time, it happened way too soon and there wasn't any romantic build up.
Can you release more chapters please.. one at a time it’s frustrating.. I like this story I want to know what happens next asap
I enjoy this one for its underlying comedy, like her family maliciously sending her off to a bad marriage to protect the spoiled daughter, but FL is so ready to do it out of a misguided sense of loyalty that the entire wicked family is shocked into silence like they finally realized how much they messed this girl up.
As to why the family is wicked, well the father's family sees twins as unlucky and FL is the twin they chose not to acknowledge. The story has so far not addressed why the mom treats FL like dirt, because she presumably married into the family and this whole twin thing is just this specific family's incredibly weird prejudice.
