Summary
In my first life, I mistook a predator for my savior. I married the guard who claimed to have rescued me, raised him to glory, and watched him destroy my family. Now I am back in the alley where it all began, drugged and running out of time. This time, I choose the crown prince. He sees through my clumsy schemes, yet offers me a way to live. But the palace is hiding the secret that once drove him to his death. To save our futures, I must face the woman behind my ruin—and the white silk waiting for women like me.
