Layla

When the immortal Ryomen Sukuna crashes an imperial wedding to reclaim his murdered wife reincarnated after a thousand years, Layla must choose between the safety of a political marriage and the dangerous truth of a love that transcends death itself.

As Claudine Von Brandt, I thought Matthias's devotion was my prize. Until he proved it by staining his hands with Layla's blood, showing me the true, terrifying depth of his obsession.

After a millennium, Layla returns from death as the legendary Sukuna’s beloved, only to be bound to a ruthless emperor—forcing her to choose between resurrecting the cursed king she adored and surviving a new world of politics and power.

Reborn as Layla with complete memory of the original novel, I'm powerless to change my fate—condemned to relive every humiliation at Matthias's hands, knowing exactly how he'll break me, yet unable to prevent a single moment of the torment I'm walking into.

Transmigrated into the body of Layla from 'Cry, Even Better If You Beg' on the exact night she surrenders herself to Matthias for her uncle's freedom, I possess all knowledge of my doomed fate but am powerless to change a single plot point—and worse, I share her self-destructive nature.
