In truth, Ayla was the heiress to a chaebol family in her previous life, but after being killed by her own husband in a political marriage, she now fears repeating the same fate in this new world. So Ayla proposes to Frede that they divorce after one year. Frede, who dreaded the thought of living with a rude and selfish woman, resolves to simply endure the year.
