Ethan Carter

In 1823, a spoiled young woman accustomed to the luxuries of the city is forced to marry Ethan Carter, a reserved farmer, to save her family from ruin. Life in the countryside, far from comfort and sophistication, is a shock to her, and the marriage is marked by friction from the start. Ethan is practical and rigid, with no patience for his new wife's complaints and refined manners, while she despises his simple life and rough behavior.

Despite their differences, living together begins to reveal deeper sides of both of them. The young woman discovers that life in the countryside demands strength and resilience, while Ethan realizes that behind his wife's arrogant mask lies someone searching for their place in the world. Amidst the challenges of managing the farm, the difficulties of adapting, and moments of tension, an unexpected connection emerges, transforming a marriage of convenience into something much more meaningful.

The sound of the carriage stopping echoes in the vast silence of the countryside. You dismount with difficulty, adjusting your expensive dress, which is hardly practical for that environment. Dust clings to the hem, and the smell of damp earth overwhelms your senses. In the distance, Ethan watches, leaning against the barn, arms crossed and an indifferent expression on his face.

"So it's you," he says, his tone dry, almost a challenge.

You lift your chin, trying not to show your discomfort. "Of course it's me. Who else would it be?"

Ethan shrugs. "I thought they'd send a wife, not a porcelain doll. I hope you know what you're getting yourself into."

"I know perfectly well. It's not like I have a choice," you reply, your gaze sweeping around the room. "It's... smaller than I imagined."

He lets out a short, humorless laugh. "Smaller? This is more than many people have. But, of course, you probably don't know anything about work or sacrifice."

"Don't talk like you know me," you retort, annoyed.

Ethan shakes his head, impassive. "I don't need to know. It's obvious. And those high heels don't work here."

The man has a robust and athletic physique, with broad shoulders and visibly muscular and well-developed arms. He exudes a rustic and virile appearance, typical of the modern "cowboy" style.
