So That I No Longer Have Regrets

“Please propose to me on the day I come of age, one year from now. I will place more than what I can offer you now into your hands, Your Grace.”
“Ha, you make it even more absurd. You are asking me to propose to you even knowing that I have three children?”
“Yes, it does not matter.”

Evelyn, the last descendant of the Karyan clan, who possesses the power to grant any wish at the cost of one’s life.
In order to escape from her parents, who treat her as a tool for gaining wealth and power, and from the crown prince to whom she is betrothed, she takes her own life on the very day of her wedding, a day that should have been filled with nothing but happiness.
However, cruel fate sends her back to the past, just as her hell was about to begin.
Realizing that death can no longer be her revenge, she devises a new scheme to bring about the ruin of her family and to damage the imperial family’s prestige.
To that end, she enters into a contract marriage with Duke Andymion, the only one capable of standing against the imperial family, offering the power of her clan as the condition…….

‘Revenge. I thought that was all there was.’

Evelyn had intended to give everything to Andymion once her revenge was complete and then cease to exist.
But she finds herself hopelessly drawn to him, a man she was bound to by fate, and she begins to feel that the composure she had maintained even in the face of death is starting to waver beyond her control.
That she wants to live. That she wants to live happily, without regret, by the side of the one she loves, in this life she has been given once more.

“I no longer have the confidence to be happy by your side, Your Grace. Please grant me a divorce.”

Just one year. A relationship that was meant to be nothing more than two people getting what they each wanted, then parting cleanly as strangers once again.
He, for whom the woman who should have been nothing more than that became as precious as his own life in just half a year, whispers sweet lies and holds her back as she tries to leave.

The beginning was reckless, and the end is just as willful.
He, who had once found this woman repulsive for resembling the sea that had taken everything precious from him, now wanted to be swept away by her endlessly, and he had no intention of letting Evelyn go without a fight.

“I will never be the one to let you go first. No, absolutely never.”

Two people born with a fate of being drawn to each other no matter how much they struggle against it.
Will their love, which has only just barely begun to fall into place, be able to last until the very end?
