One moment, Nora Johnston was living her ordinary life. Next, she woke up in the body of a disgraced noble daughter from a powerful household. Her stepmother smothered her with fake kindness, treating her like a trophy to display. Her younger sister wore a sweet smile that never reached her eyes. Her father acted as if she didn't exist. And then things got worse. The King issued a decree: the entire household would be stripped of its wealth and exiled. And she, of all people, was to be married off to the so-called "War Reaper", Caleb York, a man crippled in both legs and unconscious, feared even in death. Exile for thousands of miles into a wasteland where nothing survived? Noa let out a cold laugh. Then she turned around and emptied both the royal treasury and her family's wealth. On the road to exile, while everyone else scraped by on coarse grain and bitter scraps, she ate like a queen. And in that barren land where nothing was supposed to grow, the ruthless war general everyone whispered about, the man known for killing without mercy, ended up treating her like something precious.
