They found out I’m dying.

It should have changed everything.

Instead, nobody believed me.

After transmigrating into Louis Belmont, the disgraced second son of a ruthless ducal family, I use my knowledge of the original story to prevent the tragedies waiting ahead. I study, keep my head down, and do everything I can to change his fate.

It only makes things worse.

When a monster subjugation ends with a classmate named Chloe dead, the entire academy turns against me, including Justina, my junior mentee, and Leni, my childhood friend.

Then my body begins to rot.

With less than two months left to live, I stop trying to clear my name or change the story. When I finally tell Leni that I’m dying, she dismisses it as another pathetic lie.

So I stop explaining.

I drink alone. I withdraw from everyone. And I let the misunderstandings remain.

Until the people who hated Louis begin to realize that there was one thing he wasn't lying about.

He really is dying.
