The Lady Who Takes On Injuries Can't Escape the Prince's Doting Love

Born a villainess, Ruby possesses a singularly cruel power: the ability to absorb the wounds and afflictions of others into her own body. Exploited by her family, she endures a life of constant pain, her body a canvas for injuries that never fully heal. But when the memories of her past life surface, she realizes she has been reincarnated into the world of her favorite romance novel—and she is destined for a tragic end. Determined to rewrite her fate, she steels herself to flee the manor and escape the looming future that awaits her. On the very night of her planned escape, her path is blocked by Prince Ignatz, the very man who, according to the novel, is meant to marry the story's heroine. Yet, rather than demanding she stay for duty or reproaching her defiance, the prince offers a bewildering and tender command. He confesses he has been watching over her, urging her to let go of her burdens and accept his unwavering devotion. Despite her resistance, his gentle onslaught of kisses melts her resolve, leaving her shocked and breathless in his arms. Trapped between the destiny she knows and the prince who refuses to follow it, Ruby finds herself ensnared in a dangerous, doting love she never anticipated.
