Surviving as an Illegitimate Princess

“Don’t underestimate me just because I look like a child—I am already living my tenth life.” Born as an illegitimate princess, she has endured nine tragic regressions, each ending with her execution after being falsely accused of harboring ties to an enemy nation. During her ninth doomed cycle, she finally uncovered the truth about her biological father: Paeon, the continent’s most powerful holy knight and the celebrated war hero who vanquished the demon king. He engaged in a forbidden affair with a princess, fathered her, and then callously abandoned her. Armed with this knowledge, she resolves to survive the treacherous royal court by exploiting her shameless father before discarding him in turn. Her ultimate goal is to rapidly cultivate her strength and escape this wretched kingdom forever. While secretly building her power, she crosses paths with Leo, the son of the defeated demon king. Unlike his fearsome father, Leo is a pitiful figure languishing in captivity, prompting her to care for him in secret. Now entangled with a holy knight father born from a past forbidden love and an imprisoned enemy prince who seems determined to start one of his own, this unfortunate princess must navigate impossible bonds to finally shatter the cruel cycle and rewrite her fate.
