Tearmoon Empire

Princess Mia of the Tearmoon Empire, widely despised as a selfish ruler, met her end at the guillotine during a violent rebellion. However, instead of facing death, the twenty-year-old princess suddenly awakens in the body of her twelve-year-old self. Beside her pillow lies her own diary, its pages still stained with the blood from her execution. Confronted with this impossible second chance, Mia resolves to reshape the future of the empire and alter the course of history. Yet her grand ambitions are not born from noble intentions. She is not driven by a desire to secure Tearmoon's prosperity, prevent mass starvation, or spare the countless soldiers who perished in the civil war. Her sole motivation is entirely self-serving: she must do whatever it takes to avoid the guillotine a second time. Convinced that her foreknowledge will make survival effortless, the cowardly and deeply flawed princess sets out to rewrite her fate. Through sheer desperation and an instinct for self-preservation, this unlikely heroine inadvertently triggers miracle after miracle, transforming her desperate bid to save herself into an extraordinary alternate-history fantasy.
