“I’m breaking off our engagement.”

Karen, an F-rank alchemist, is dumped by her fiancé who, though once sickly, is now cruising down an elite path. Who does he think supported him during his illness?

Drowning her sorrows in alcohol, she recklessly accepts a request with outrageous conditions. It’s a commission from a nobleman asking her to save his nephew who suffers from "Bloodline Blessing," a curse caused by inherited overwhelming magical power.

While the request itself isn’t the issue, the problem lies in Karen’s chosen reward. Given complete freedom to name her price, she demands marriage to the client himself.

Julius Ehlertt—currently the most eligible bachelor in the royal capital.

After being rejected by men she had settled for in both her previous and current life, Karen refuses to compromise anymore. She’s set her sights on the kingdom’s finest man—beautiful, strong, and of noble birth.

To complete the request, Karen begins crafting potions as an alchemist. Through her work, she interacts with various people, and her outlook gradually transforms.

A new chapter begins in the life of Karen the alchemist.
