Marriage... what is marriage? Is it companionship? Is it love?
For Ṣẹ́yí, it was neither. It was a nightmare.
She was destined to marry the Third Prince of Ilé-Ifẹ̀, until her sister, Adúnní, takes her place through a cruel deception.
Forced to marry Adúnní's betrothed instead, Ṣẹ́yí finds herself trapped in a marriage to Bolaji, the Chief of the Palace Guards, a man with little love for her and even less mercy.
Her life becomes a tale of betrayal, suffering, and a fate she cannot escape.
Until she dies.
But death is not the end.
Given a second chance, Ṣẹ́yí awakens to find herself back at the beginning, before everything went wrong.
This time, the sisters will make different choices.
This time, they will swap husbands.
But changing the past does not guarantee a different future.
Will Ṣẹ́yí finally escape the fate that once destroyed her?
Or will the secrets, ambitions, and rivalries of the royal court lead her to the same tragic end?
