The Tyrant's Only Perfumer

A young woman succumbs to a terminal illness, only to open her eyes in the body of Ariel Winston—the villainess of her favorite novel. Fully aware that the original Ariel’s storyline ends in a gruesome death, she immediately sets out to rewrite her fate. Her first order of business is severing ties with Duke Cedric Evans, the story's male lead. Cedric suffers from a unique curse that drives him into violent, bloodthirsty rages unless he is constantly exposed to a specific fragrance, making his personal perfumer an absolute necessity for his survival. However, breaking away proves far more complicated than anticipated. Although their relationship was initially born of obligation due to Ariel’s indispensable role as his scent provider, Cedric suddenly shows no interest in letting her go. His unexpected attachment throws the entire plot of the novel into disarray, leaving Ariel bewildered by the tyrant’s shifting behavior. As the narrative spirals away from its original script, she must navigate his dangerous obsession and find a way to forge the peaceful life she has always desired.
