Years later, however, it seems her efforts have finally paid off: her eldest stepson is to be married and take over the estate, freeing her of many responsibilities. But shortly after learning the cruel truth that she's not invited to his wedding, she dies and wakes up on the day of her husband's funeral seven years earlier! If Shuri is to live these seven difficult years all over again, she's going to do things differently. Can she write her own fairy tale ending this time around?

The marchioness Shuri Von Neuschwanstein got the chance to redo the last seven years of her life, and managed to mend her broken relationship with her four stepchildren. Her devotion is tested, however, when the eldest stepchild, Jeremy, commits an act that could be considered treason, and receives a harsh punishment from the Empress. Shuri’s only recourse to save Jeremy is to find a way to declare him the head of the household, effectively removing herself from the Neuschwanstein estate entirely. And to do that, she must mend a number of bridges she’d long ago burned, and visit the family of her late husband’s first wife. Can Shuri convince them to offer their aid, and, if so, will she ever see her stepchildren again?The hit webtoon also known as The Fantasie of a Stepmother!
