Your parents are dead because of you! It’s all your fault for being so damn selfish!
After losing her parents in a carriage accident, young Zoia grew up with those toxic words constantly beaten into her by her uncle’s family, saddling her with a profound sense of guilt. Stripped of her entire inheritance, the once-noble young lady was eventually reduced to a mere servant in her own family’s manor. Zoia reached adulthood completely alone, with no one to lean on and no one to protect her. As the unyielding despair crushed her spirit, she finally chose to end her own life. —But in the blink of an eye, fate threw her ten years back into the past. She woke up on the very day of her parents’ funeral. And there, sobbing uncontrollably beside the coffin, was—her younger self. Haunted by the tragedy awaiting her future, a dark thought crossed Zoia’s mind. If I just kill this little girl right now… that living hell will never happen. But the moment she looked into those tiny, tear-stained eyes, a sudden wave of memory flooded her chest. If only someone had reached out to save me back then… Right then and there, Zoia made her choice. No one had come to save her back then, but this time, she would rescue her past self with her own two hands.
