As Dahlia immersed herself in her cherished novel, she discovered an unfair twist: the villain's demise should have spelled doom for the entire royal family. Frustrated by this injustice towards the tormented souls, she unknowingly found herself transported into the very story, at a time before Crown Prince Daedric had chosen his consort.
To her astonishment, Dahlia realized she had become Dahlia Ermacora, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Ryuxan, destined to be the Crown Prince's bride. What stunned her further was that she was already at the wedding ceremony, holding the bridal bouquet, about to wed Daedric.
In a bold move, Dahlia declared, "I will marry Prince Sullivan because I love him," leaving everyone in disbelief. She whispered in his ear, "Marry me, Sullivan, and I'll assist you in achieving your greatest desires – the throne and love."
Sullivan Blackwood, an illegitimate prince, had a tragic past. Born into a family that didn't acknowledge him, he suffered constant bullying from other princes. Queen's cruelty added to his torment, fueling his determination to bring down the family that withheld affection. When Dahlia's unexpected proposal arrived, he was initially taken aback but accepted, marrying her.
After their vows, Sullivan whispered, "Dahlia, you've made a grave error. Your end is inevitable, for my intentions are selfish."
Dahlia queried, "Don't I owe it to my husband to fulfill my duties?"
Sullivan replied, "I have no interest in being a husband. And I know you don't love me, your declaration was a lie."
Determined to prove her love, Dahlia acted on a sudden impulse. As she leaned in for a kiss, her thoughts raced, "I want to give this beloved character a well-deserved happily-ever-after."
