Summary
I woke up as Astel, the hidden younger sister of the Male Lead, Cassian, inside a fantasy novel! My brother is consumed by a quest for family revenge, but the true final villain remains a mystery, even to the original story. My mission? Uncover this elusive antagonist and protect my family.
To do that, I need to infiltrate the formidable northern Duke Castle, a den of traitors. But fate, or perhaps a cruel twist of the plot, has bound me to Duke Anais – a man rumored to be a monstrous beast and a prime suspect for the very villain I seek! Worse, I’ve become his ‘imprint companion,’ a bond that demands daily ‘skinship’ to survive. Kissing a potential villain? This was *definitely* not in the original novel!
Duke Anais is dangerously possessive, growling like a wild animal when I even mention my brother. He’s a beast in more ways than one, and his affections are suffocating. But things take a truly bizarre turn when he encounters Cassian’s nephew. ‘It will become our child,’ he declares, his eyes fixed on me. ‘Cassian Gray will disappear from this world now, so you will not become his bride.’ Wait, what?! Cassian is my *brother*! When did I become his bride, and why is the Duke planning to eliminate my own kin?
