YUKAE

Evangeline O’Hara has it all—wealth, privilege, and the most coveted engagement in the empire. But when tragedy strikes her family, the future duchess can no longer ignore certain truths. She is alone now, and this marriage won’t change that for the better. Duke Decarno von These has no doubts, as no other woman could be more perfect for the role. Things may be complicated now, but the conclusion is inevitable. Once they wed, the rest of these problems will vanish. Why should he think otherwise?

Senelia, for having the powers of a Chloracaen Thorn, is puppeted by the paranoid Emperor Clifford in exchange for her life. To thwart the plot of the original novel and avoid his fated demise, Emperor Clifford forces Senelia to usurp the original female lead as the male lead’s lover. As a plant, Senelia is to weaken him so that he cannot challenge Clifford’s throne. But Senelia falls for the man, Veneruccia, whom she’s meant to undo. Can Senelia’s love, built on a foundation of fear, survive?
