Reborn after a jealous stabbing, a noblewoman chooses the deadly prince over safety to settle a two-life blood feud.
A half-sister's envy sends both women to the scaffold under a usurper king's decree, yet death only resets the clock to their engagement ceremony. Seraphina recognizes the palace as a slaughterhouse and strong-arms her family into trading her royal match for the Prime Minister's heir, betting on a quiet survival. Evelyn reads the maneuver clearly and claims the crown prince instead, binding herself to a wary Kyle to turn the throne into a blade aimed at King Brody. Their divergent gambits — one fleeing danger, the other marching into it — restructure the court's power map before the first move is even played.
