“I betrayed the only man who stayed faithful to me, and died by the hand of the father I worshipped.”
Olivia Luceron was the perfect tool. For years, she acted as a spy within her own marriage, feeding her father secrets to dismantle her husband’s power. Her reward? A cold dungeon, a mutilated body, and a walk of shame through the empire’s streets.
Her husband, Duke Matthias, whom she treated with nothing but icy indifference, died protecting her. Her father, whom she gave her soul to, was the one who ordered her torture.
Now, Olivia has returned a year before her death.
The platinum hair she lost is back. The scars on her chest have vanished. And Matthias—the man who kissed her forehead in a dark cell before facing the executioner—is still alive.
She doesn't seek his forgiveness. She doesn't even seek his love. In this life, Olivia has only one goal: to use her position as the Duchess to systematically destroy the Locron family from within.
She will be the “Perfect Wife” this time—a mask of ice to hide a heart of fire.
“Dear Father, you taught me how to be a monster. It’s only fair that I show you what I’ve learned.”
