Ellie wakes inside the role of a young villainess, a cruel child fated to torment Damian, the future male lead, during their days at the orphanage. After glimpsing the ruin waiting for her if the story continues as written, she decides the safest choice is distance. But watching Damian suffer under others makes that plan harder to keep, and one small act of kindness pulls her deeper into the plot she wanted to avoid.

Her goal is simple: protect Damian until Duke Schuetz arrives to adopt him, then quietly step aside. Instead, the duke takes her in as well and names her Damian’s future daughter-in-law. Now Ellie must survive inside a powerful noble family while trying to change her ending without losing the fragile warmth growing around her.
