Summary
Lisithea, born as the unwanted product of a political marriage.
“If it weren’t for my older sister, our family would have no problems at all!”
“I will never forgive the sister who killed my mother.”
“Your younger siblings are still so young. How can you, as the eldest, be so petty?”
During the winter of her sixteenth year, fed up with her family’s unjust abuse and neglect, Lisithea realizes a devastating truth: she is the villainess in a story where no one welcomes her.
‘Did you really think I’d let things end like this?’
After countless attempts to change her future, she discovers one harsh reality: no matter what she does, the future remains unchanged.
“You have at most one year left. How have you survived this long in such a body……”
Even her fate—to die in one year.
‘It’s unfair enough that I have to die, but I can’t be the only one who suffers.’
Driven by the sole desire to take revenge on those who tormented her, Lisithea seeks out Cassius, the Grand Duke—another villain in this world.
“Please become the heir to my fortune, Your Highness. So that my family will regret trying to take it from me.”
“No, I have no need for your inheritance. But marriage—that’s a different story.”
Instead, he proposes a contract marriage to her, despite knowing she is terminally ill.
Yet…….
“Wouldn’t you take pity on a man who must keep his beloved wife by his side yet do nothing?”
“You may do whatever you wish with me. I will endure anything if it’s what you desire.”
His excessively affectionate attitude as a husband keeps planting dangerous thoughts in her mind.
“That’s why you shouldn’t have been so carelessly kind.”
