Living solely to escape,
The novel 'Light of Rusbella' was a depressing romance.
Aspirant of a new life, Asili Rosé was reborn as the 8th wife to the Estrian Emperor.
She believed she was born with a golden spoon, only to realize it was just gilded.
When she realized nothing but ruin awaited her, she discovered a diary that predicted her future.
It prophesied Asili's death by the hands of Crown Prince Castor!
["What does the empire mean to you?" The Crown Prince asked, flashing a beautiful smile before killing her.]
Unfortunately, Asili kept coming back to life and kept getting killed repeatedly.
As she repeatedly experienced death, she slowly lost her smile and changed.
...First, let's try to survive.

"Say my name."
...
My head quickly shot up.
"Say my name... Amoru."
His fingertips lightly grazed my inner wrist.
