Summary
Melvi Runoire, a baron’s daughter, is known as the “defective product” due to her inability to feel any emotion. Shunned by her family, she is forced into an engagement with the dreaded “Flower-Killing Duke,” Gerald Varlier. Fearing for her life, she confronts him at his estate. He proposes a chilling test: if she remains conscious at his touch, he will marry her. To her shock, his contact awakens a deep, overwhelming pleasure in her numb body. This unexpected sensation marks the beginning of a profound connection between two damaged souls, each finding what they lacked in the other.
