Blood stains the white marble of the imperial palace, but the court is too busy preparing for a royal wedding to notice the mounting body count. In this reincarnation into a familiar novel, the glittering ballrooms and silk gowns are just a distraction from a string of serial murders sweeping through the capital. The air is thick with the scent of lilies and the metallic tang of a killer’s blade. While the nobility whispers about tea and titles, a deadline is looming that ends in a massacre.

The woman now known as "Princess Charlotte" wasn't always a rebellious royal; in her past life, she was a prosecutor who lived for the grind of the law. Now, she's trading her gavel for a corset and a hidden dagger. Her fiancé, the enigmatic Duke Adler, is the prime suspect in her own upcoming murder, and the script says she won't survive her wedding night. She has to descend into the city's underbelly and run a secret investigation to unmask the predator before the vows are even spoken. Surviving a manhwa plot that has already marked her for death won't be easy, especially when her own husband-to-be is the target of her investigation. Will her legal instincts be enough to rewrite a tragic ending, or is she just another victim waiting for the clock to strike midnight?
