Summary
One moment, I was living my life; the next, I woke up as the infamous director of a nursery school, notorious for abusing the very children destined to become the story’s protagonists. My first act was to swiftly put an end to the cruelty. But my troubles were far from over. With the nursery drowning in debt and on the brink of collapse, I couldn’t bear to see these innocent children starve. My mission became clear: protect them, no matter the cost.
Desperate, I risked everything to provoke the formidable Duke, securing a much-needed sponsorship. I thought my only task now was to raise these children with love and care. Yet, the Duke, initially described as a cold and distant figure, keeps intruding into my life, his icy demeanor melting only in my presence. And the children, once scarred, are slowly opening their hearts to me. Why does he keep asking about *their* protection, when I’m perfectly capable of handling myself? And why does he threaten to withdraw his support? My life, once about survival, is now entangled with a powerful Duke and a group of vulnerable children. Can I protect them all, and perhaps, even myself? Discover the beginning of this unexpected journey in chapter 1!
