After being reincarnated into the world of a novel, she quickly realizes she is destined for an early death. Just like the story’s heroine, she suffers from a terminal illness—but unlike the heroine, her character dies long before a cure is ever discovered. Determined to survive this time, she decides the only way to change her fate is to interfere with the story itself by preventing the villain from falling into despair and pushing him to find the cure much sooner.

With that goal in mind, she boldly approaches the feared duke and introduces herself as Lowena Wheatfield, a ten-year-old girl from the Townsend Orphanage. Without hesitation, she asks him to adopt her, confidently offering charming rewards in return, from cheerful greetings at the door to even a goodnight kiss if he behaves well enough. Though her proposal leaves the duke completely stunned, Lowena remains determined to insert herself into the villain’s household no matter what it takes.

By becoming part of his family, she hopes not only to save her own life but also to change the tragic future awaiting the man everyone else fears.
