I found myself in the same predicament as others - a possession I couldn't explain. It's apparent that I'm nothing more than a supporting character in this novel, but what kind of twisted tale is this? Not only am I a widow with stepdaughters my age, but I also suffer from a curse that transforms me into a black swan every evening. Despite the sorrow that fills me, I refuse to change my destiny. Why should I? Life is meant to be lived unapologetically, and I embrace my dual identities as a duchess by day and a carefree queen of the lake by night.
However, all of that changes when I stumble upon a white baby swan who calls me mommy. To my surprise, she's not a swan but rather the tyrant emperor's youngest sister. As we navigate through the torment of her seven older brothers, including the tyrant emperor himself, I can't help but fall in love with her. Our mother-daughter bond is genuine, but will it withstand the wrath of our enemies?
