The decision of six-year-old prodigy Inés Valeztena de Perez to pledge herself in marriage to Cárcel Escalante de Esposa confuses everyone. Given her family's elevated position, she could have wed the crown prince and risen to empress, but she chose a different path. Cárcel grew up convinced that Inés harbored deep affection for him, even as she consistently acted cold and distant. Stuck in this undesired arrangement, he found no appeal in her flat personality and sought solace in multiple extramarital affairs. When Inés uncovers his unfaithfulness, Cárcel's world shatters—yet she shows no reaction whatsoever. She plans to overlook his indiscretions even after their marriage, leaving Cárcel bewildered. Her emotional distance triggers a twisted longing in Cárcel, making him lose attraction to other women. However, Inés's behavior conceals a deeper motive, stemming from a prior suicide attempt.
