This Time, I Will Survive Until the End

Adette Berse is trapped in a relentless cycle of reincarnation, doomed to die before her thirtieth birthday every time she attempts to marry. Determined to finally shatter this fatal pattern, she makes a resolute vow to remain single and instead dedicates herself to securing financial stability for her family. However, navigating the professional world proves perilous in a society that deeply stigmatizes working women. To circumvent these oppressive expectations, Adette adopts a male disguise and approaches Duke Mateilo with a bold business proposal. Rather than focusing strictly on their financial arrangement, the duke finds himself captivated by her audacious deception. He quickly shifts his attention away from commerce, insisting on continuous meetings that push Adette’s carefully constructed facade to its limits. With her disguised identity under constant scrutiny and her very survival hanging in the balance, Adette must rely on her wits to outmaneuver the perceptive duke. If she hopes to break the curse and live past thirty, she will need to navigate his growing intrigue without letting her guard down—because this time, she intends to survive until the very end.
