“Do I have to say it outright? I don’t like you.”
At age twelve, Charlotte Daphsine realized she had reincarnated as the cruel ex-wife of the novel’s male lead.
She struggled desperately to change her fate, but nothing in the story would bend. Eventually, she gave up.
And yet… her husband began to beg for her love—desperate, pitifully so.
But Charlotte pushed him away without mercy.
“Why… why do you hate me?”
Even when he looked at her with tear-filled eyes, more beautiful than any woman, she said coldly:
“I hate your long, flowing hair. I hate that your face is prettier than mine. I hate that you study magic instead of the sword, that you stay home because of it, and even that you’re kind by nature. I hate everything about you.”
“…If I changed all of that… Charlotte, could you love me then?”
“No. Because it’s you, Noctum. Everything about you—I’ll always hate it.”
She cut off even his last thread of hope. After all, he was the destined male lead who would send Charlotte to the guillotine and live happily ever after with the heroine.
But then—
“Noctum… is dead?”
He died.
Three years passed. For Charlotte, it was three years of endless regret. She wept over the letters he had left behind.
Until one day—
“Noctum… is alive?”
Suddenly, she regressed—back to the time before their marriage.
But the man standing before her was strange.
“So it’s only because you’re a noble lady that you think you can wander into such a filthy place?”
“Enough of this behavior, Lady Charlotte.”
His personality, his presence—completely different.
Is he another Noctum Afros from a parallel world? Or is he truly her husband, changed beyond recognition?
“Did you really think you could escape me?”
Oh my goooosh! Thank you for picking this one up😭
