Ritzhardt "Ritz" Salonen Levantret, the local lord, harbors an unwavering admiration for his homeland. Although he seeks a wife, women are hesitant to leave behind their luxurious lifestyles and relocate to a remote area. The affluent society refers to him as the "Yeti of the Borderlands" and belittles his modest existence. One night, during a festival, Ritz meets the prominent lady-knight, Sieglinde "Sieg" von Wettin, and proposes marriage. To the amazement of many, she agrees to a one-year "trial marriage."
For Sieg, this is a unique opportunity to learn the intricacies of being a wife, having spent most of her life in the military. On the contrary, Ritz yearns to exhibit the splendors of his cherished home to her. In the frigid Levantret, from facing the challenges of hunting in subzero temperatures to engaging in crafts by a warm hearth, each day presents new and heartwarming memories.
