Baroness Goes on Strike

As Baroness Cassia lies on her deathbed, her final emotion is not fear, but profound relief. Her loveless marriage to Zester, a mercenary by trade, has finally come to an end. Looking back on her life, she is consumed by regret over the countless years she spent exhausting herself to maintain his territory. She sacrificed her own happiness and well-being for a husband who offered her no affection, wishing desperately that she had prioritized her own peace instead. That dying wish is unexpectedly granted when Cassia opens her eyes to discover she has been transported ten years into the past. Armed with the bitter knowledge of her previous life, she resolves to abandon her relentless devotion and embrace a completely stress-free existence. This second chance offers her the opportunity to reclaim the years she once surrendered. However, altering her fate proves far more daunting than simply changing her mind. To truly live for herself, Cassia must find the courage to defy Zester and break free from the oppressive dynamic she once accepted as inevitable. As she navigates this rewritten timeline, she faces a critical question: will she successfully forge a new path, or is she destined to relive the same nightmare all over again?
