Jacinta Ryzeftine’s life was never hers to begin with. Memories of a past existence crash down upon her, revealing the cruel truth — she has been reborn as the ill-fated third princess of the Illian Empire, a character in the tragic novel Crimson Sun. The story’s ending is certain: the guillotine waits, and so does the destruction of everyone she holds dear.

But Jacinta refuses to surrender to the pages of fate. With the weight of two lives on her shoulders, she makes a solemn vow — to shatter the prophecy that binds her and rewrite the future with her own hands.

No longer the naïve princess destined to die, she becomes a cunning player in the empire’s brutal game. Behind silken masks and shadowed corridors, she uncovers secrets that threaten to tear the empire apart. Allies emerge in unexpected places, while enemies sharpen their blades, eager to see her fall.

Time is running out, and every choice draws her closer to the story’s bloody climax. But this time, Jacinta Ryzeftine will not be the one to kneel.

Fate may have written her end, but she will write her own beginning.

"It has been a long journey, your highness! Congratulations on claiming the third borders of the Asterians, it's just a matter of time before those dimwits fall. Cheers! All hail the two small suns of our Empire! To the Princess and our Prince!"


The knights were completely drunk and some of them were led to their rooms by the servants. However, only Martina and the cousin of the Count of Zubel, remained seated on the table. Baron Marcus Zubel. He was a man with neat appearance and his remaining hairs on the top were neatly combed in the right side.


"You have an impressive tolerance to alcohol, your highness."


"No, not at all. But I don't dare to get drunk while still catering to our esteemed guests."


"You're a very responsible man, I see."
