“I’d rather not marry than lower my eyes!”
Katya, the notorious villainess from the southern region, declares her opposition to marriage!
The Duke sets up an intense showdown with his daughter, who rejects every suitor that comes her way.
Caught in a crisis of being forced into marriage with the scoundrel Petrozsky, Katya decides to make her escape.
During her escape, she ends up spending an unexpected night with a man she encounters…
He turns out to be the tyrant Grand Duke Nikolai de Vasily.
“At the moment you stood in my way, I couldn’t breathe.”
“Well, then why don’t you visit the asylum, sir?”
“For someone like me, a madman, you need to be at least as crazy to control me.”
“Are you looking for… a bride or a caretaker?”
“With you, I think both are possible.”
In her attempt to avoid one madman, she becomes entangled with an even crazier one!
Is this a choice based on reality?
“If I ask for a divorce, you’ll kill me.”
“What do I have to gain by doing that?”
“I don’t know… A sense of conquest?”
“I’d like you to conquer me a little.”
“Obedient wife, doting mother, that sort of thing, I’ve had enough of that in this life.”
“I like you just the way you are. Does that answer your question?”
Don’t tame the tomboy.
She’s pretty enough the way she is.
