The Cruelty of Salvation

Olivia, a commoner who has become the first woman to attend university and a top honours graduate, still cannot escape the contemptuous label “commoner wench.” One day, the Herot royal family presents her with Noah Astrid, its royal flower. The gift feels like a blossom laced with poison, but Olivia has no choice but to accept it. Having held a flower for the first time, she finds herself unable to help loving it.
