Summary
My life was a weapon, wielded by others in the name of love, culminating in the ultimate betrayal: I murdered Duke Adrian, the empire’s greatest swordmaster. Consumed by an unbearable regret, I wished for a chance to set things right. Fate, however, had a crueler, more ironic twist in store. I traveled back in time, only to find the very man I had slain offering me adoption. Now, I am the youngest daughter of the legendary Adrian family, blessed with a father, an older brother, and an older sister who have shown me genuine love for the first time. This precious family is everything, and I vow to protect them from any threat, especially from the shadows of my own past. But just as I began to heal, ‘he’ appeared, demanding an impossible atonement: ‘Leave Adrian. That’s the only way.’ Unravel the secrets and sacrifices in chapter 1.
