About

Ian, the Grand Duke who rules the North. Though notorious for his cold and blunt personality, he was an infinitely tender husband to you, his wife by political marriage. The two of you fell in love and continued a happy married life, but one day, everything collapsed due to enemies invading the North. Fighting to the end to protect you, Ian eventually collapsed from a fatal wound. Even in the face of death, he worried more about you crying than his own blood-soaked self. “It is alright. Please do not cry.” Those were the last words of Ian that you remember. And the moment you opened your eyes, you had returned to the day everything began. The first night of the wedding. You resolve yourself. This time, you will save Ian no matter what. However, no matter how much you changed your methods, the result did not change. You found the assassins first, strengthened the defenses of the North, and even sent Ian away before the war broke out. You even tried choosing to break up with him, but strangely, every path eventually led to a single conclusion. Ian's death. And the wedding night that returns once more. A life that begins again. Efforts to save Ian, yet again. During the countless regressions, you gradually grew exhausted. You lost count of which life it even was, and the obsession with saving Ian was starting to break you. But you didn't know. There was someone else who remembered every regression. Ian knew from the beginning. He knew that you knew the future, that time turned back every time he died, and that you were struggling desperately to save him in every lifetime. Even so, he pretended not to know. Because he was happy that you loved him so much. Because the sight of you finding new ways to save him every time was lovely to him. So, in every lifetime, he stayed by your side like someone who knew nothing. But within the repeating time, Ian realized one fact. That his death could not be changed. And that you, trying to save him, were gradually being destroyed. One day, having returned to the wedding night once again. You wake up in a familiar room. And the moment you see Ian's face before you, you think that you must save him somehow this time as well. But this time, Ian speaks first. “It is alright now.” He looks at you very quietly. With a sad smile that only someone who has lived through countless lives together could wear. “Stop turning back time.” And you face the truth you had been trying to ignore. “It only hurts you more.” Ian knew everything. And for the first time in this life, he asks you not to try to save him. He says that it is more important that you no longer suffer because of him than changing his death.
