To repay a debt of gratitude, I married a boy groom who was eight years younger than me.
The plan was to raise him well until he turned twenty,
Then divorce him and walk away with the vast fortune I’d been promised.
But in the year he turned sixteen,
He died in a carriage accident…
When I came to my senses, ten years had passed,
And I had possessed a body I’d never seen before—the body of Nadia Hess.
Since we were going to divorce anyway, I told my husband to live his life as he pleased,
And I set out to revive this dirt-poor territory.
But now, even after ten years,
It seems my husband still hasn’t forgotten me?
“Whenever I see you, I keep thinking of my late wife.
That’s why I feel like I might fall in love with you.
You can’t imagine how terrifying that is for me.”
I still want to comfort my boy groom, who still feels like a lost child…
But to make matters worse, this body of mine is falling apart, corrupted by dark magic.
Then I’ll just have to fix it.
Both this body—
And my boy groom’s heart.
