This Marriage Will Surely Succeed

Iona served the emperor with unwavering devotion as his loyal knight, yet her absolute fidelity earned her nothing but betrayal. Abandoned on a brutal battlefield by the very master she swore to protect, she is left to face death alone. In her final moments, salvation arrives from the most unexpected Leroy Hann, her husband through a forced political arrangement and a man she scarcely believed cared for her fate. Upon closing her eyes in death, Iona awakens not in the afterlife, but back in her own past. Armed with the bitter knowledge of her previous life’s end, she makes a resolute choice to sever all ties with the treacherous emperor. Instead, she dedicates her second chance entirely to Leroy, determined to bring happiness to the man who tried to save her when no one else would. However, rewriting their shared destiny proves far more difficult than simply changing her allegiances. Leroy harbors deep distrust toward her, viewing their union as nothing more than a hollow political contract. With outside forces actively scheming to drive them apart, Iona must fight to transform their unlikely marriage into a genuine bond before history repeats itself.
