The Queen Who Returned Different

King Nikolai Volkov - the feared King of Russia, cold-hearted, powerful, and impossible to read.
Queen Anaya Volkov - born in India, married into the Russian throne, once gentle, loving, and desperate for her husband's affection.
In her first life, Anaya gave him everything.
Her loyalty.
Her heart.
Her love.
Yet as Queen of Russia, she was never truly treated like one.
Ignored by her husband, disrespected by the court, and left alone in a palace full of whispers, Anaya spent her days longing for a love that was never returned.
Until the loneliness, betrayal, and heartbreak finally led to her death.
But fate was not done with her.
Anaya opens her eyes once again in the same royal era, in the same palace, at the beginning of the life that once destroyed her.
This time, she remembers everything.
And this time, she does not care.
The woman who once begged for love is gone.
Now she is cold, distant, and untouchable.
She no longer waits for the king.
No longer seeks his attention.
No longer loves him.
And that is exactly when everything changes.
The same husband who once ignored her now cannot take his eyes off her.
King Nikolai's gaze follows her through every corridor.
His voice softens only for her.
His possessiveness grows darker with every passing day.
The queen he once forgot has now become the only woman he wants.
Obsessed, protective, and dangerously devoted, the king is determined to claim the heart of the wife who no longer belongs to him.
But can a love born from obsession heal the wounds of a past life... or will it destroy her once again?
