My Disfigured Duke Husband Helps Me Plot My Revenge

A powerless woman’s worst nightmare is marrying someone against her will. When those who are supposed to protect her betray her in the vilest of ways, Leonor is forced to marry a Duke known for his cold nature and repulsive appearance. After a miserable childhood, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that her future was never truly in her hands in the first place. Duke Desmond de Montclair was nobody before the war. He garnered the King’s favor by doing the impossible in battle. Unfortunately, any achievement is eclipsed by his appearance and unbearable personality. In a kingdom that idolizes beauty, there is no room for someone like him. At first, Leonor finds life with the Duke to be what she’s used to - walking on eggshells and never speaking what’s truly in her heart. Eventually, things slowly start to change as the Duke learns about the horrors she faced while living with her family. His power becomes the key to her revenge. However, in a moment where she feels cornered, Leonor confesses to the Duke that she’s in love with someone else. The progress she has made with the Duke comes crashing down around her. Will her magic abilities be enough to convince the Duke not to throw her out? If she can make herself useful to him, perhaps she can gain his sympathy somehow…

Upon living the life of someone he wasn't supposed to be, Desmond gave up on having friends. The only people who knew who he was were the king and Gideon. He preferred to keep his circle small rather than pretending he wasn't someone more grand than he was to those who didn't know the situation.

Despite being born a noble because of his father's military career, his formative years were in an orphanage. He felt socially inept in the face of other nobles. Luckily, his appearance spoke for him and none desired to get close to him anyway.

However, commoners were much harder to handle. They didn't care who he was, or what he looked like. He was the people's hero, not the nobles' hero. They thought he was honorable, unlike the nobles.

When he appeared in front of them, especially the people of Montclair, they gave him respect and didn't mind his presence.
