Once a promising candidate for sainthood, my life crumbled when I was ensnared in a scheme that brought down the Duke, my sole benefactor. Falsely accused of poisoning my rival, Diana, I was condemned to a miserable end, cursing the cliché fate that had befallen me. It was in that final moment that the horrifying truth dawned—I wasn't just living a tragedy; I was a character trapped within the pages of a novel, destined for a miserable end. When I opened my eyes next, I was miraculously reborn as my childhood self. Determined to carve a new path, I resolved to live a virtuous life, convinced that kindness would be my shield against the looming "dead flags" of the original story. To my surprise, my efforts bore extraordinary fruit. The Duke, once cold and indifferent, now overwhelmed me with affection and gifts. I forged a close bond with the eldest son, whose death I had once caused, and even managed to heal the second son, who was fated to die young from a terrible illness. My plan to live peacefully seemed flawless. However, my desperate attempts to avoid the original plot only seem to tighten its grip on me, entangling me further with the male leads. Meanwhile, the angelic female lead, Diana, begins to exhibit a sinister and unsettling demeanor. As if that wasn't enough, I am faced with an even greater horror: I can no longer feel a heartbeat in my own chest. Having seemingly lost my heart, I must now wonder—can I ever truly find peace in this second chance at life?
