Summary
In her previous life, Ridel Cross was nothing more than a tool, imprisoned and exploited by the Emperor in a magic tower until her untimely death at eighteen. Now, granted a second chance, she vows to live a quiet, magic-free existence as a humble servant in an Earl’s household. Her only desire is peace.
But fate, it seems, has a cruel sense of humor. Her new master, the Count’s daughter, approaches Ridel with a desperate plea: “You, and only you! Get him away from Milena! I beg of you!” Ridel’s resolve for a tranquil life shatters when she realizes ‘him’ is none other than Graham, the enigmatic butler—a man who bears an unsettling, identical resemblance to the very Emperor who ruined her past.
Now, Ridel faces an impossible task: seduce the Count’s daughter’s lover, a man who is a haunting echo of her tormentor. Can she navigate this treacherous game of hearts and secrets, or will her peaceful new life be irrevocably shattered by the ghosts of her past? Dive into chapter 1 to uncover Ridel’s perilous journey!
