Summary
A century after her reign as Empress Martina, the legendary founder of the Carabella Empire, met its end, she finds herself reborn as Astina Lette, a seemingly ordinary count’s daughter. Her peaceful, noble existence, a stark contrast to her imperial past, shatters when her family plunges into ruinous debt. To save them, Astina makes an unthinkable sacrifice: she’ll marry the monstrous Grand Duke Thereode, a man cursed to live as a terrifying beast, in place of her beloved sister. No one expects her to survive a single night with him. Yet, armed with the forgotten skills of her past life—formidable swordsmanship—Astina not only endures but defies the beast. What begins as a desperate struggle slowly transforms into an unexpected bond as she begins to ‘tame’ her fearsome husband. But when a simple, innocent kiss is offered as a reward for his obedience, the beastly Grand Duke undergoes a shocking transformation… into a human? Unravel the mystery and witness their extraordinary journey in Chapter 1!
