“그러게 정도껏 했어야지. 엘리샤. 이런 꼴을 당하기 싫었다면.”

흔들리는 몸, 몸을 감싸안은 단단한 팔. 몽롱해지는 머리. 저도 모르게 토해지는 애끓고, 달콤한 한숨.

‘지금……. 이 상황……. 도대체 어쩌다가…….’

엘리샤는 떠올렸다. 이건 과거에 없던 일이다.

‘맞아, 그랬지.’

악마 같은 사내의 가짜 정부가 되어, 골수까지 다 뽑아 먹히고 죽는 미래. 카티에 공작 가문의 권력 분쟁에 휘말려 조각조각 나는 미래.

그 미래를 피하기 위해 엘리샤는, 전생의 주인의 숙적, 루체른에게 몸을 던졌다.

그래. 문제될 건 없었다. 이 남자가, 회귀 전에도 회귀 후에도. 제국에서 가장 유명한 미치광이라는 사실은 이미 알고 있었으니까.

Orphaned and living in a monastery, Elisha De Lauer was content and happy. That was until the De Cartiers, known for having magical abilities, came to find her. This snake-filled family forces Elisha into a slave contract with their eyes on inheriting her many assets. After years of servitude to the De Cartiers, Elisha meets a gruesome end at the hands of her captors. That would’ve been the end of her tale, but as she closed her eyes to die, she awoke again in her own past as if nothing had ever happened. With this second chance, she vows revenge on the De Cartiers and finds the perfect accomplice in rumored maniac, Lucerne Des Kayas. Lucerne, an outcast member of the De Cartier family, has also sworn revenge on them. But, his unwavering distrust of everyone stirs him to form a contract with Elisha only under one condition. She must agree to marry him. Flung into a fake marriage, these two align to uncover the secrets of the De Cartiers and bring each member down. There’s just one secret they each can’t seem to figure out. Why does it seem like they have met before?
