Mending the Barbaric Prince's Wounds

A dedicated nurse in her past life, Hana poured every ounce of her being into her work after her brother succumbed to illness—only to collapse from overwork herself. But death was not the end. Reborn as Primela, the daughter of a noble house in a world of magic and monarchy, she carried her calling into her new existence. Determined that no patient would suffer needlessly again, she dedicated herself to advancing medical knowledge across her family's territory, believing that her skills were the one thing she could still control in a life she never chose. Upon reaching adulthood, Primela's fate became entangled with the crown itself when she was betrothed to Aster, the first prince of the great Kingdom of Adid. Though whispers painted him as a savage brute with blood on his hands, Primela refused to be swayed by court gossip. That resolve was tested the night he appeared before her, wounded and bleeding, coldly declaring that he needed no fiancée. Yet in his defiant gaze, she caught no cruelty—only a deep, aching isolation that mirrored her own. She saw not a monster, but a man in desperate need of saving. Taking his injured arm into her hands, she made a quiet choice: to heal him, no matter the cost. As their engagement unfolds behind gilded palace walls, Primela begins to untangle the poisonous web of schemes that branded Aster a ruthless tyrant, revealing that the greatest wounds are not always the ones that bleed.
