Enid is a thirty-year-old woman (in her soul, at least) who was reborn into a fantasy world as an orphan. She eventually recognizes her surroundings as the setting of a Korean-style childcare novel she once read—one where a nobleman falls for the governess who helps him reconnect with his motherless children. Enid has no intention of being part of that plot. She's not noble-born. She's not beautiful in any remarkable way. She's just a kitchen maid who wants to earn her meals, save a little money, and retire somewhere quiet.
Her plan works perfectly for two decades. Then she stumbles upon the Duke's young son crying in a closet, and her carefully maintained invisibility crumbles.
Unable to stand by while a child suffers from his father's grief-driven neglect, Enid confronts Duke Helios Rhadros directly—with disastrous (and surprisingly non-fatal) results. Rather than being executed or dismissed, she finds herself transferred to the nursery as a caretaker for both children: the lonely young heir Nico and his infant sister Anastasia.
The Duke, meanwhile, begins paying her a different kind of attention entirely.
As Enid navigates her new position, she must balance caring for two children who desperately need love, managing the complicated attentions of their dangerous father, and figuring out whether she can allow herself to want something more than mere survival.
