My Condolences, You're My Husband Now

Lenora Chekova always saw the best in people, a trait that often got her into trouble. When her pragmatic older sister flees an arranged marriage to the disgraced industrialist Gavriil Koslov, Lenora is sent in her stead to uphold the family's honor. She arrives at Gavriil's crumbling, smog-stained manor on the day of his late business partner's funeral, finding a man more beast than host, haunted by the disastrous collapse of his airship company that cost lives. Armed with relentless optimism and a bouquet for every occasion, Lenora decides her new mission is to make the notoriously grim Gavriil laugh. But Gavriil's gloom is a fortress, and her sunshine antics seem to bounce right off. Between dodging Gavriil's sarcastic butler and navigating a house that seems actively opposed to cheerfulness, Lenora slowly chips away at his icy exterior. What she doesn't know is that the marriage agreement has a secret clause: if she cannot restore Gavriil's 'will to live' within a year, the union is void, and the devastating consequences will fall squarely on her family. Can she melt the heart of a man who believes he doesn't deserve one before time runs out?
