A count’s daughter named Stella has just had her engagement to the crown prince abruptly annulled after enduring ten grueling years of strict fiancée training. The prince’s sudden change of heart leaves her feeling utterly defeated and uncaring about her future. In a moment of reckless desperation, she impulsively proposes to the man she has secretly admired from afar for years: the much older Prime Minister, Ludvik, who is twenty years her senior. To her shock, instead of rejecting her, he turns the tables and proposes to her on the spot.

The story follows this unlikely pairing as they navigate their sudden engagement and subsequent marriage. Stella carries a significant secret that she cannot reveal: she is a highly popular and talented artist whose anonymous illustrations of Ludvik have earned her a dedicated following. She is, in essence, his most devoted fan. The narrative explores the comedic and heartfelt tension of their relationship, where Stella believes Ludvik only married her out of a sense of responsibility, while Ludvik begins to shower her with genuine affection, insisting that he is the only one who can make her happy.

The setting is a classic fantasy noble court, where the foolish crown prince and his scheming new love interest serve as antagonists. The primary narrative arcs include the immediate fallout of the broken engagement, Stella’s bold and impulsive marriage proposal to Ludvik, and the revelation of her secret identity as the famed illustrator. Subsequent chapters focus on their life together, exploring the age-gap romance and the misunderstandings that arise as Stella struggles to reconcile her secret fangirl activities with her new role as the Prime Minister’s wife. The story also touches on Stella’s kind-hearted nature, such as her practice of donating her illustration fees to orphanages, which contrasts with the political machinations of the court.
