WHY RAELIANA ENDED UP AT THE DUKE'S MANSION

The original story behind the hit anime adaptation: Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion. 

 Fated to be poisoned by her betrothed, Eunha Park didn’t wake up inside a novel just to die again as an unfortunate extra! Now living as Raeliana McMillan, the side character whose death was meant to set the story in motion, she takes destiny into her own hands with a daring proposal: a temporary, fake engagement with the empire’s most powerful and dangerous man, Duke Noah Volstaire Wynknight, the novel’s dangerously charming yet ruthlessly calculating male lead. 

In exchange for keeping one of his darkest political secrets buried, the Duke agrees to protect her. But life as his “fiancée” proves anything but simple. Behind his angelic smile lies an icy heart, and every encounter pulls her deeper into a web of courtly secrets, royal intrigue, and a dangerously shifting affection that blurs the line between deception and desire. Raeliana may have escaped one doomed engagement, only to find herself bound to another, one far more treacherous, and infinitely harder to resist. 

But will this cold-hearted, angel-faced demon truly save her from her fate… or rewrite it entirely?

Exclusive to this English print edition is a special cover design created especially for collectors.

Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion is a captivating romance-fantasy about fate, ambition, and the peril of falling for the man who was never meant to be hers.
