The Flower That Swallowed the Beast

Iris Whittle’s first life ended in tragedy at the hands of her sadistic husband. Instead of fading into oblivion, she awakens twenty years in the past, restored to her youth with every agonizing memory intact. As the neglected daughter of a duke, Iris has always been treated as an afterthought, but her sudden return grants her something far more valuable than affection: perfect foresight. Armed with intimate knowledge of the future and a desperate determination to survive, she resolves to rewrite her destiny before the same fatal mistakes can claim her again. To escape her grim fate, Iris devises a bold strategy centered around Gavizar Empire’s most intimidating figure. She approaches Count Keibrandt Green, a fearsome and highly sought-after bachelor whose gruff exterior conceals a dangerous, predatory nature. Rather than waiting to be traded away by her family, Iris takes control of her own narrative by offering him a daring marriage proposal. It is a calculated bargain for her life—a pact forged between a woman who refuses to become a victim twice and a man who hides the fangs of a wolf behind a stern demeanor.
