    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya once stood by the Duke’s side—quiet, loyal, and invisible. A neglected spouse with a fading heart, he finally broke under the weight of being unloved.

    And yet, death was not the end.

    He wakes again—this time, in the body of a royal heiress fated to marry the same man who let him wither away: Duke Katsuki Bakugo.

    But Izuku no longer seeks affection or validation. He chooses purpose, poise, and power. He will become the duchess the kingdom needs—not the wife the Duke never cherished.

    As Bakugo finds himself drawn to the new duchess, he begins to see something familiar—too familiar.
    A gaze he once ignored.
    A soul he once lost.

    Now, it is Izuku’s turn to live—for himself.
    And if love finds him again, it must come on his terms.
