LEE INHYE

To save my family from certain doom, I offered to become the Emperor’s secretary in place of my clumsy brother. I excelled at work in my previous life… to the point of overworking myself, but that’s beside the point! I know I got this. I served the tyrant emperor perfectly, down to a T, so now I can quit working and the plot can continue on. But when I asked to resign, he retorted, “Do you want to die?” Your Majesty, you’ve always been disinterested in people, why are you holding me back? Please let me live the rest of my life peacefully!

Erencia Nobelita has been killed and reborn three times, each life ending in tragedy no matter how righteous she tries to be. So she throws caution aside in her fourth loop and decides to live selfishly, but every “evil” choice only wins her admiration and praise. Frustrated and desperate, she sets her sights on Euclid Grethelos, the empire’s most adored Grand Duke, and boldly asks for his hand in marriage. But instead of ruining her life, her audacious plan may have just set the stage for a fate far more unexpected… and irresistible.

On the cusp of calamity, the dead have risen! Corpses that have long grown cold return to steal warmth from the living, and the natural order dangles by a single thread of fate—a pair of lovelorn enemies tethered intrinsically by ice and fire. Together, Selena and Millard may yet salvage an era that’s torn between bitter frost and scorching flame. They must enter the enigmatic Magic Tower with only one another to rely on, knowing they may never return…
