This is one of the few light novels I've read recently that haven't been isekai-centric or villainess-centric and it was a nice reprieve from those themes.
The main female lead Viola is pragmatic, used to handling household chores and comes from a charming down-to-earth family despite being from a noble background. Most of this is due to her family's poverty as they attempted to care for the poverty and famine around them.
In order to help her family, Viola agrees to be the "show wife" of Duke Cersis. Duke Cersis says he is in no way interested in a real marriage as he's been in a long-term relationship with another woman - his mistress - who despite being his long-term partner is a commoner, seen as arrogant and flighty for her profession, and generally not well liked among the Duke's family or household staff.
Viola on the other hand, becomes well-liked among the Duke's family and staff for her ability to brighten staff's day, contribute to the happiness and appearance of the household, and even begins to charm Duke Cersis.
I really enjoyed the female main lead in the novel, and Duke Cersis though a bit absent in the first half of the novel, grew on me as he appeared more.
