The marchioness Shuri Von Neuschwanstein was just a teenager when her husband died, leaving her to manage his lands and raise his children–even though she was young enough to be their sibling. Despite her dedication to her duties, other nobles conspired against her, and her stepchildren rejected her as their mother, leaving her a hardened pariah in her own home. But when she leaves for a new residence during her eldest stepson’s wedding, the marchioness dies and wakes up in the past... on the day of her husband’s funeral! If Shuri is to live these seven difficult years all over again, she’s going to do things differently. Can she rewrite her own fairy tale ending this time around?
