"Your parents died because of your selfishness!" After losing her parents in a carriage accident, Zoya grew up under the care of her uncle's family, who repeatedly hurled those cruel words at her from the time she was a child, filling her with overwhelming guilt. They stole every last bit of her parents' inheritance, and the young noble lady eventually fell from grace, reduced to nothing more than a servant in the very mansion that should have been her home. With no one to rely on and no one to protect her, Zoya grew into adulthood carrying a heart burdened by despair. Unable to escape the pain that had consumed her for years, she ultimately chose to end her own life. However... The very next moment, fate sent her ten years into the past. Before her stood the day of her parents' funeral. And kneeling beside their coffins, sobbing uncontrollably... ...was her younger self. Knowing the tragedy that awaited, one thought crossed Zoya's mind. If I kill my younger self now... wouldn't that erase the hellish life waiting for her? But the instant she looked into those small, tear-filled eyes, memories of her own past came rushing back. If only someone had reached out a hand to me back then... In that moment, Zoya made her decision. This time, she would save the child no one had ever saved. She would save her younger self with her own hands.
