Ten years of blood. A lifetime of betrayal.

Lucius von Valerius, known as the "Iron Wall," returned from the trenches only to be murdered by his own brother and the wife he adored . But when he opens his eyes, he is eighteen again, back before the war, before the betrayal—and before his friend's assassination .

Determined to dismantle his enemies from within, Lucius seeks out the one person he ignored in his past life: his "sickly" ex-fiancée, Evelina.

But the woman he meets is no longer a dying noblewoman. She is Dr. Evelina, a 31st-century top-tier assassin and scientist who transmigrated into this body with her AI assistant and a knowledge of herbs. It was in her hands how to used them it can either save people or kill them. 

He is a man who knows how the world ends. She is a woman who knows a thousand ways to kill and thousand to save. Together, they aren't just changing the past—they’re preparing for a war the world hasn't even realized has begun.

"I am the sword," Lucius promised. "And I" Evelina smiled, "am the poison"

The following week swept past Evelina in a blur of warmth and routine—a stark contrast to the cold, calculated survival she had practiced for two lifetimes. She quickly learned the heartbeat of the Valerius stronghold: no matter how busy the men were with their swords or the Duchess with her ledgers, they shared at least one meal a day together. It was a sacred rule.
