This story follows a woman who secretly endured abuse, a truth hidden from the main narrative as she is reincarnated into a new body. Navigating her second chance, she carefully handles growing suspicions and works to establish her intelligence and innocence in biased and unjust situations. The male lead gradually learns more about her, and his evolving opinion of her becomes evident. However, as she gains his trust and support, she finds herself in greater danger—targeted by someone scheming to manipulate those around her for their own gain.

This story unfolds in the aftermath of a brutal siege, where a new ruler rises to power by overthrowing traitors. The female lead, tied to the treason through her marriage to a duke, is spared but faces a peculiar fate—she is offered as a wife to a warrior of common birth. However, the warrior refuses to take her as his wife, assigning her the role of a maid instead. This unexpected twist grants her a chance at a simple life, free from the chains of her past. As they navigate their new dynamic, a budding relationship begins to form, offering hope for a fresh start and perhaps even love.

The story revolves around two strong-willed characters whose beliefs are tested through a love contract. As time passes, their electrifying chemistry—both in battle and through playful teasing—creates a compelling slow-burn romance. The plot is enriched by challenges stemming from their power struggles and complex backgrounds, which ultimately bring them closer together.
