I'm Trying to Become the Dark Duke's Family

Reincarnated into the pages of a novel, she soon discovers that her new life comes with a merciless expiration date. She has been born with the same terminal illness that afflicts the story's heroine — yet unlike the heroine, she is destined to die long before a cure is ever found. Her only chance at survival is to bend the plot to her will: pulling the tale's villain back from his downward spiral and pushing him to obtain the life-saving medicine far earlier than the original story ever allowed. So she marches straight up to the feared Dark Duke with an outrageous proposal. "Hello, Your Grace. I'm Lowena Wheatfield, I'm ten years old, and I come from the Townsend Orphanage." Stunned, the Duke can only listen as the little girl lays out her terms — adopt her, and she will greet him at the door every single day. And if he's lucky? She might even reward him with a goodnight kiss. Thus begins her boldest scheme yet: charming her way into the household of the story's greatest villain and securing her place in the Dark Duke's family — because nothing less than her life is at stake.
