Edith had a decent life as a maid. Well she did have until her mad auntie who she had never seen before suddenly declared her the sole inheritor of a great fortune. Of course, this would be any girls dream but the promise of a fortune was not without strings or even a choice. Before Edith can register any of the news, she is wedded to the youngest member of an old aristocratic family which is known for being both cruel and dysfunctional. Edith is perhaps thankful that her husband is not in fact like his family, although she is slightly perturbed to see him bullied by them so viciously. Along with practically everyone else in the new society she has joined. Set in an Victorian-like society in a fictional city, join Edith as she embarks on learning how to survive the vicious elite whilst trying to maintain a somewhat normal marriage with a husband who dislikes anyway lower in status. Can she ever love her slightly odd husband? Saying that, can he love his outspoken, odd wife? And what of his family and their insatiable desire to corrupt everything around them? Hope everyone enjoys!
