Summary
Terryl was once dubbed ‘Cinderella,’ a charming moniker for a humble Baron’s daughter who found love with a Marquis’s second son. But her fairytale shattered when he abruptly abandoned her, leaving her wounded by betrayal. Just as her world crumbled, a formidable figure emerged: the ‘King of the North,’ Duke of Rihan, revealing himself as her long-lost biological father. Overnight, Terryl transformed from a discarded lover into a Duke’s daughter, thrust into a rigorous journey to become his successor.
Three years later, a new Terryl rises, fueled by a burning desire for retribution. To reclaim her dignity and dismantle her ex-lover’s ambitions, she proposes a daring contract engagement to Cesio, the Marquis’s eldest son. Her goal: to strip her former flame of the very title he coveted. “I want an engagement with Young Lord Cesio,” she declares, to which he coolly responds, “All right, take full advantage of me.” As their strategic alliance deepens, Terryl finds herself drawn to Cesio, uncovering a secret about him that could change everything. Will this ‘Cinderella,’ forged anew by betrayal and ambition, finally find a love story truly her own? Discover her journey in Chapter 1!
