Synopsis
Mary expected death to be the end, not a second life as the ruthless nanny from the novel she was reading. Now trapped in the role of a future villain, she has one goal: protect the fragile child Briel and prevent his powerful uncle, Count Kentryle Chalant, from descending into a path of vengeance. But rewriting fate is never simple. As danger closes in and the original story fights back, Mary must outplay the narrative itself… and maybe find love where none was meant to exist.
