Synopsis

Separated from her mother, Savina is sent to live with an uncle and a noble family who resent her presence. Memories from her previous life make the situation even worse: she recognizes a future in which Prince Ricardo kills her. Leaving the household seems the safest response, but her escape plans collapse when the prince is invited to stay there. Savina must manage hostile relatives and a potentially lethal relationship while discovering how much the future can actually change.

Story profile
★ My Take

Savina’s survival-first perspective gives the family scenes more tension than their aristocratic setting initially suggests. Her attempts to manage people who hold power over her can be satisfying, particularly when their judgments begin to change. The dangerous-prince romance is a more divisive attraction, and the mix of mistreatment, emerging attachment, and escape planning requires patience with an extended period of vulnerability.

✓ Why you'd like it

Knowing why Savina wants to avoid Ricardo changes the meaning of ordinary encounters. A meeting or unexpected kindness can feel like a possible departure from the future she fears, keeping the emotional stakes personal even when the immediate conflict is only a household conversation.

⚠ What may not be for everyone

The heroine spends substantial time navigating relatives who mistreat her, and the prince’s possessiveness can complicate the promised escape. The Korean comic is complete, but the English Tapas edition is still updating, so its 114-episode count is not the final total.
