The Neglected Noble Lady Became the Beloved Caretaker of the Imperial Family

Appointed as Lion’s caretaker within the opulent, yet treacherous, imperial court, Sylvia finds herself in an unfamiliar world where she is truly valued, truly *needed*. As she navigates this new life, a confusing warmth blossoms, even as the cold, ruthless Willhart begins to fixate on her with an intensity that promises more than just protection.
