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…

More Understanding

Quinn knew how people perceived the duke. He knew the unfairness he faced each day and even heard a bit of it from Leonor the last time they were together. Yet nothing could have prepared him for the cold silence that followed their arrival at the mage's quarter.

Students weren't outwardly respectful, although how else could it be perceived when some were too stunned to speak at the mere sight of him? Most were petrified and froze in place as he walked by. 

The silver-haired mage always assumed that it was the nobles who behaved like that and a common person wouldn't be so shallow, but he was witnessing firsthand that his preconceived notions were incorrect. Even a commoner mage would balk because of his scars. 

Quinn's bruised face went entirely unnoticed despite his pale skin showing the marks easily. Everyone was focused on the man at his side.
