Written by Suji Kim, Under the Oak Tree follows Maximilian Croyso, the disgraced stuttering daughter of Duke Croyso, who is forced into a marriage with the Lord of Anatol, Riftan Calypse. The day after their wedding night, Sir Riftan leaves on a war campaign without a word and does not return until three years later. Sir Riftan is determined to shower Maxi with love but having spent her entire life believing herself to be inferior, Maxi must first find the courage to first love herself.
