Marquise Selena died in her last life dragging the family's cherished legitimate daughter down with her. She wakes up back inside the same house, with the same poison manners and the same scheming matriarch, and decides to spend this life differently.
The concubine's daughter once risked her neck for Selena, and Selena repays it. She shields the girl from the household's casual cruelty, then notices something the family missed entirely: Prince Jayden's heart already belongs to her. Selena arranges the royal match herself and stands between the couple and every plot the legitimate daughter and matriarch cook up. The stakes are the girl's life and Selena's own second chance at a household worth living in.
