MINATO (미나토)

The moment she believed she won, everything went back to the beginning. Kalmia Phlox, whose dead brother came to life, was engaged to a man she was close to, and had a relationship with the man she was in love with. In her very different relationships, she comes closer to a truth she did not know in her previous life… “It’s greed to wish for something you don’t have the ability to handle!” “Yes, I know. I’m being greedy. Do I need permission to be greedy?” She’ll be the Count again in this life. It’s not a lucky title, but it was won with her own strength, so she’ll be a perfect Count who was nobody’s scarecrow.

One day, a mysterious marquis appeared in a small rural village and started purchasing artwork. However, his sole interest was in pieces themed around "nudes." Liv Rodeis was just an ordinary private tutor. To pay for medicine for her sick younger sibling, she had secretly posed as a nude model a few times. However, she had only allowed her back to be painted, believing it wouldn't cause any issues. Until one day, a nude painting revealing the side of her face was sold to someone. *** “God may listen, but He doesn’t grant wishes.” The cynical words were spoken in a low voice, just loud enough for Liv to hear. “The power to make something happen lies in human hands, Teacher.” The deep voice was chillingly cold but simultaneously captivating, like a Siren’s song. The pale blue eyes, which had been fixed on the religious statue, glanced down at Liv. “So, try praying to me.” The marquis’s lips curved ever so slightly. That fleeting moment of eye contact felt like an eternity. “Who knows? A miracle might just happen.”

Calmia Phlox is given a second chance at life, but this time, she must compete against her beloved twin brother to gain back her coveted status and title as Countess Phlox. What’s more, her nemesis wants to... marry her?! Striking a deal with her former archenemy, Rudbeckia, while struggling between her ambitions and her fondness for her brother, will Calmia reclaim what is hers?
