The Lady and the Beast

One hundred years after her death, Empress Martina, the founder of the Carabella Empire, is reincarnated as Astina Lette, the daughter of a count. Her tranquil life as a noble lady is disrupted when her father's failed trade business plunges the family into debt. To save her family, Astina decides to marry Grand Duke Thereode in place of her sister Kanna. However, Thereode is cursed to live as a beast, and few believe Astina will survive the night with him. Against all odds, she confronts him with her swordsmanship and survives, leading to an unexpected bond as she begins to tame him. A simple kiss on the lips transforms Theo back into his human form, altering their destinies forever.
