The Soulless Duchess

Yvona was once defined by her blind devotion to her fiancé, willing to sacrifice everything for his success. She summoned magical beasts only to let him claim the glory, and she pushed her body to its absolute limits to cast powerful spells on his behalf. Her dedication knew no bounds, extending even to a willingness to die for him. However, her unwavering loyalty shattered when she discovered him in a passionate embrace with her trusted cousin, Tristan. Worse still, he openly mocked her behind her back. The devastating betrayal culminated in Yvona’s untimely death. Instead of fading into oblivion, she awakens exactly one year in the past, burdened by the painful memories of her previous life. Stripped of her former naivety, Yvona resolves to use her knowledge of the future to fight for herself rather than serving those who exploited her. No longer willing to be a pawn in someone else's game, she begins plotting a new path forward. To secure her survival and reshape her destiny, she considers forging an unexpected alliance with the notoriously coldhearted Duke of Azentine, setting the stage for a dramatic second chance at life.
