Cold dungeons, glittering imperial ballrooms, and the sharp scent of poison on a silver platter. In a high-society court where a single misstep means execution, rumor is a deadlier weapon than any blade. The glittering capital thrives on the downfall of disgraced nobles, discarding those who outlive their political utility to rot in frozen prison towers while the rest of the empire toasts to their demise.

Juvelian knows this cold reality all too well. Once branded the empire's most despised "villainess," she suffered ultimate betrayal when her father and lover abandoned her to a lonely death. But when a sudden regression rewinds the clock, this manhwa finds her determined to secure her survival by rewriting her destiny. She dumps her useless lover, stops begging for her father's cold affection, and resolves to spend his massive fortune living in luxury. Yet, her peace shatters when her father begins searching for a new suitor—and the unpredictable crown prince is at the top of the list. Desperate to escape a forced marriage, Juvelian proposes a contract relationship to her father's apprentice. But is this mysterious student a safe haven, or has she just signed her soul over to an even more dangerous player?
