I Thought My Time Was Up

Education, familial love, and freedom were always reserved solely for Lariette Blanche's older brother, Ryan. In contrast, she is treated merely as a tool for her crumbling and desperate noble family to regain their riches. However, as Lariette obediently awaits her marriage to a wealthy old man, she receives the harshest of news: due to her overabundance of mana, she is terminally ill with only three months to live. Lariette refuses to endure mistreatment any longer and creates a bucket list—including dating a handsome man! Coincidentally, Lariette encounters Duke Asrahan Kandel, the empire's fiercest knight, who suffers from a curse that makes his body reek of rotting flesh. As the only one with enough power to undo Asrahan's curse, Lariette requests that he date her for three months in exchange. Asrahan hardly considers himself worthy of love, but with her boldness and flirtatious advances, Lariette may just change his mind.

Feeling a little under the weather, Lariette Blanche visits Doctor Zakascoff only to find out that she has an extremely rare congenital disease, and only three months left to live. Though devastated at first, Lariette decides to write up a bucket list of everything she wants to do before she dies. However, little did she know that the diagnosis was actually wrong! With so many changes implemented in her life already, what will Lariette do moving forward? Will she return to her previous life, or continue living the new one, full of adventures she had never imagined before?
