DING!
WELCOME TO YOUR SECOND CHANCE: ONE YEAR TO WIN HIS HEART!
—
Eleanor was just a servant girl until the day she died saving a beggar from an assassin. But instead of meeting her end, she wakes up in a new life with a strange deal: become a duke’s daughter and make Crown Prince Adrian fall in love with her within a year—or lose everything.
The twist? Adrian is the beggar she saved, only now he’s cold, bitter, and trusts no one. Winning his heart is harder than she ever imagined, especially with scheming nobles, deadly plots, and her awkward quest attempts causing chaos at every turn.
But as her feelings for Adrian grow real, Eleanor realizes this isn’t just about a deal anymore—it’s about risking everything for love. Can she melt the prince’s icy walls before time runs out?

A Quest To Woo the Prince

The ball's clamor seemed to fade into a low hum as Lady Seraphine's words hung in the air.

"I was just telling everyone how much I'm looking forward to the announcement of our betrothal," she said, her voice sweet but firm, calculated to draw every ear in the vicinity.

Eleanor held her breath, her pulse pounding as she watched Prince Adrian's face. His expression was unreadable, a mask of royal composure. For a brief moment, his eyes flicked toward Eleanor, and she thought she saw the slightest flicker of discomfort.

"Lady Seraphine," Adrian said finally, his voice measured, polite but distant. "I appreciate your enthusiasm, though I believe such matters are best left to be addressed in due time."

The crowd's murmurs swirled around them like a storm. Lady Seraphine's smile faltered, though she recovered quickly, her expression cooling. "Of course, Your Highness. I understand."
