Synopsis
Beheaded empress escapes fate, becomes powerful merchant, and defies destiny by choosing love on her own terms.
Lucentia is a woman who was forced to marry the emperor but was accused of treason and beheaded. She managed to escape death thanks to a precognitive dream and fled to the enemy empire, where she became Rose Von Isaac, a rich and powerful merchant. But Lucentia could not escape her fate, as she was the only one who could save the Duke of Aytan, a legendary swordsman who had a secret that could change everything. She proposed that he be her guardian, but he asked her to be his lover. Lucentia decided that she would no longer be manipulated by fate and that she would live her life as she wanted.
