Edith is a strong-willed and intelligent woman who is not content with simply marrying for social status or financial security.In order to achieve her goals, Edith enters into a contract with a wealthy businessman named Mr. Sterling. The contract stipulates that they will court each other for a set period of time, during which Edith will have the opportunity to evaluate Mr. Sterling's suitability as a partner. The arrangement is seen as scandalous by many in their social circle, but Edith remains determined to follow her own path.As the courtship progresses, Edith and Mr. Sterling begin to develop genuine feelings for each other. However, their relationship is threatened by outside forces, including jealous suitors and societal expectations. Edith must navigate these challenges while also remaining true to herself and her desire for true love and independence.The novel explores themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the struggle for personal freedom and fulfillment.
