The Fish I Missed Was Big, but the Fish I Caught Was Too Big

From a very young age, people noticed that Maria, the youngest daughter of a duke, was filled with potential. She was raised as the heiress of her house, until the birth of her baby brother relieves her of her duties. She scrambles to find a husband, but all the eligible bachelors in her duchy are taken!

At this rate, she's doomed to the life of a spinster!

Maria decides to study abroad in Rubini in hopes of finding a husband, with the help of her distant relative, Aida. But in a twist of fate, the Crown Prince breaks off his engagement with Maria, even though they've never met before!

"Huh?! I don't remember getting engaged!?"

Enjoy this fluffy romcom with a late-blooming villainess!
