“Who brought this scruffy child here, and for what purpose?”... more>>

Under Ricardo’s intimidating gaze, I couldn’t help but shed a tear. It wasn’t out of fear, but rather joy at seeing him alive again.

My name is Iris Swan.

I have returned to my ten-year-old self to protect my loved ones.

***

To save Uncle Ricardo, who died under mysterious circumstances,

To save his wife, who died long ago from an illness,

And to save his son, who will face danger in the future, I must stay by their side.

So, what’s the quickest way?

“If I cure the Duchess’s illness, then please take me as your daughter-in-law, Duke!”

“…Daughter-in-law?”

“I’ll do my best from now on, Father.”

Let’s start by becoming Uncle Ricardo’s daughter-in-law!

***

Since it has come to this, I also want to improve the relationship between Ricardo and his son, Cillian, which was bad in my past life.

Because in this life, I hope Ricardo and Cillian will be happy.

“Iris Swan, I don’t trust you.”

“I like you, my lord. I want to get closer to you.”

Despite Cillian’s wariness and harsh words, I held on, believing that someday he would understand my sincerity.

“Would it seem too petty if I said I was jealous?”

“In the future, the only person who can call me Lian will be you, Rishi.”

Oh?

It seems we’ve gotten a little too close… <<less

My husband entered an arranged marriage with me against his will. And he hates me.... more>>

I just lived every single day as though I was dead, waiting for the day that we’d get divorced…

“The Duke… seems to have lost his memory.”

“What…?”

Then, one day, he suddenly lost his memories. To be more exact, only memories of me had been wiped clean from his mind.

And it seems like this amnesiac husband of mine somehow fell in love with me…

“My dear… I’m really, really happy that you’re my wife.”

Who is this… this puppy-like man…?

Isn’t he the same man who bares his teeth at me every time he sees me?

“Once you remember everything, you’re going to regret it all. You’re being so nice to me like this…”

“No, I won’t. Not even a little bit.”

Haa. Seriously… He talks to me so sweetly now, but this will definitely turn into a shameful past that he’d come to regret later on.

After he recovers his memories, I know for sure that my husband will finally push ahead with the divorce.

I should prepare for it in advance. <<less

Born as a hybrid, I was abused by my maternal grandfather because I was a useless child who didn’t inherit any abilities from my dad’s family, and ended up dying.... more>>

I returned to the past with my memories, but my options weren’t so different from the past.

I’ll either live like this and be abused to death just like in my previous life, or I’ll go to my dad who hates me.

‘I don’t want to die again.’

Eventually I went to my dad who hated me, with a locket in my hand that would prove me to be the daughter of the Black Leopard family.

“Let me…let me stay here.”

All I asked for is protection until I became an adult. Then, when I was old enough to live alone, I was going to go out and live without causing trouble. Because I was going to be a good kid this time.

But, somehow…

“My beloved daughter, if there is anyone who touches you, I will kill them immediately.”

My father, who I thought hated me, was so sweet to me.

“Hey, Perfi, don’t keep hugging Thiel. At this time of year, I heard that girls are very delicate.”

“Where did you learn that s*upid theory? Thiel likes to hug.”

The two brothers who I thought were scary like me so much.

“Thiel, I’m going to hand you over the head position of this Black Leopard family.”

My paternal grandfather suddenly tells me that he is handing over his position to me.

Hey …didn’t everyone hate me? <<less

"I want to repay my husband's kindness."... more>>

Facing death, it was her last wish.
Miraculously given another chance at life, albeit limited…
It didn't matter if it was in the body of a complete stranger.
All that mattered was the opportunity to repay his kindness.

And yet.

"If you’re talking about Margrave Haberfeld, isn't he the one who went mad after losing his wife?"

What? They weren't that close, were they?

Five years after her death,
Strange rumors were circulating.

"Are you... truly not Grace?"

Then, there was also her husband's suspicions.

In a situation where she couldn’t even admit that she’s Grace…
Could she really repay his kindness and leave safely? <<less
