Wren is trapped in a tormenting fictional simulation where ninety-nine previous romantic suitors kissed her before ruthlessly murdering her. Reincarnated for her hundredth attempt, she abandons every romantic illusion, establishing strict rules against intimacy and transforming her list of eligible male suitors into a methodical elimination target roster.
Her survival scheme hits chaos when Lucien, a sickly duke with an outrageous sense of humor and massive gambling debts, refuses to leave her side. As he brazenly flirts while helping her navigate court traps, Wren must determine whether this terminally ill nobleman is her sole salvation or her fatal hundredth executioner.
