Synopsis

Violet Lawrence had a wonderful childhood as the princess of Lakraund. However, the royal family's business collapsed, the king passed away, and the remaining members fell into debt. Winter Blooming, the illegitimate son of a duke, repaid the Lawrences' debt in return for Violet's hand in marriage to better his social standing and gain a noble title.

Everything begins to fall apart on Winter and Violet's wedding day. Violet's brother, Ash, suddenly announces that the royal family will renounce their nobility, rendering Violet completely useless to Winter. For three years, Violet lives quietly as a mouse, tortured by guilt and desperate for Winter's attention and love. Yet, not a single person looks her way—especially not her cold, avaricious husband.

Seeking an escape from the misery and ridicule with no more attachment to her own life, Violet overdoses on pills. But instead of dying, she wakes up as Winter! Oblivious as to why they swapped bodies, Violet and Winter are forced to cooperate, slowly learning about each other's pains and what it means to be husband and wife.

Unlike other mangas, time doesn't rewind. This is a refreshing change of pace. Both the FL and ML are written well, in that their characters ...

This is a book that falls flat due to its over-reliance on angst and drama. The author gave us a story about two very different people in a relationship, but they seem to think I will feel sorry for the lead just becaue she is a princess and is sad. Like her situation is bad, 100% something worth a divorce, but I can't ignore the fact that she never did anything for herself, not once did she ever genuinely stand up for herself. And despite being so smart, she is incapable of realizing that her husband has abandonment issues and an inferiority complex because he ...
