This time, I will protect both my son’s life and my own happiness.

“This time, I will protect both my son’s life and my own happiness.” After her father, the King, is assassinated in a coup, Lusha spends her childhood imprisoned in a dungeon. Her isolation ends abruptly when she is dragged from her cell to serve as a substitute bride for Emperor Ricardo, a ruler feared for his terrifying appearance and cold demeanor. She takes the place of her cousin, Marguerite, entering into a marriage that exists only on paper, with her sole duty being to produce an heir. Although the union is loveless, Lusha finds genuine joy for the first time upon the birth of her son. However, Marguerite, seeking to exploit Lusha’s position and child for political gain, sends an assassin to eliminate her. At the moment of her murder, Lusha miraculously regresses in time, returning to her days in the dungeon. Determined to prevent her own death and secure her son’s future, Lusha agrees to marry Ricardo once more. In this second chance at life, she begins to uncover surprising facets of the so-called “Cold-Blooded Emperor” that she had never noticed before. The stand-in princess, once doomed to tragedy, now leaps back in time to completely rewrite her destiny.
