IKA HOTARU

Born to be a princess, Fine was raised in a tower with a blindfold on because of her golden eyes, which are said to be unlucky. Though she believed her parents loved her, it all turned out to be a lie when her father decides to offer her to the god to end the kingdom's long-standing drought. But right before Fine is pushed into the spring, the king of the powerful kingdom Stichtite, Sieghart rescues her. "I want to make Fine my wife." Fine is utterly confused by both the relief of having her life saved and his sudden request. Why did he save Fine and ask her to marry him when they've never met? Will Fine be able to find out Sieghart's true goal?

When the villainess comes back to life, she discovers that the prince who once hated her is now madly in love with her?! In this world, "Predators" are the rulers who wield powerful magic, while those born with the "Mark of Sacrifice" are despised as mere wells of magic for Predators to absorb and tools for bearing offspring. Prince Greg, second in line to the throne, recently rejected a marriage offer from Lady Letishia, a vile Predator. Determined to understand his reasons, she confronts him at the palace—only for both of them to become victims of an assassination attempt, losing their lives in the process. The next moment, Letishia finds herself transported back in time to the day she went to see Greg. Yet, this miraculous second chance comes at a price: she now bears the Mark of Sacrifice. Imprisoned by her family and facing a future of exploitation, Letishia strikes a deal with Greg, offering him her magic in exchange for his protection. Though they wed under the terms of a loveless contract, Greg seems to have fallen deeply in love with Letishia. But is this genuine love, or is it simply the mark’s influence?
