Jegugui Sinyeo
"A plain face, the illegitimate child of a viscount."
With no notable background to boast of, Leona managed to grasp power from the lowly position of a maid, thanks to her extraordinary intellect. But when the seemingly eternal empire fell to enemy invasion, she too met her end by an enemy soldier’s blade.
A life spent harming others for ambition, scheming without hesitation it was a life full of regrets, and so she welcomed death. But then... she came back. To the very moment she first entered the palace as a maid. Surely, this is a chance to right the wrongs of her past life.
"This time, I won't live a life of hurting and taking but one of protecting and nurturing."
With that resolve, she chooses as the key to changing this life none other than the crown prince, the political rival she had personally dethroned in her previous life. As she serves him once more, now as his maid, everything seems to be going well... Until...
"Leona, let’s leave this place together."
Something feels off. The cold, indifferent crown prince she thought she knew hides a secret. And as truths buried by the world come to light, a shadow of ruin begins to fall over the empire once again.
