Escaping Execution

Winning the competition to become Crown Prince Karzhan’s fiancée should have been Veniti Lysie’s greatest triumph. Instead, her victory transforms into a nightmare on their wedding night when she is falsely accused of his assassination and swiftly put to death. Miraculously granted a second chance, Veniti awakens in the past with a singular, desperate goal: lose the selection process at all costs to avoid the fatal destiny that awaits her. However, despite her deliberate attempts to fail, fate seems determined to push her forward, and she inexplicably continues to advance through every stage of the contest. While desperately trying to sabotage her own chances, Veniti unexpectedly crosses paths with Karzhan himself, discovering that the Crown Prince is secretly attempting to flee his royal obligations just as she is trying to escape hers. This unlikely encounter reveals that the history between them runs far deeper than she ever realized in her previous life. Now armed with fragments of hidden truths, Veniti faces an impossible struggle against a timeline that refuses to change. She must unravel the mysteries binding them together before the cycle repeats itself, or risk being dragged back to the executioner's block once more.
