Forced to Marry My Ruined Ex: The Duke’s Revenge

When the former duke suddenly dies, his greedy uncle Richard seizes power. The duke’s daughter Cordelia becomes a fallen noble and is even blinded in a plot. To protect her commoner lover Luke, she cruelly casts him aside; Luke leaves for the border, burning with hatred for being spurned for being poor.

Years later, the boy she “cruelly abandoned” has risen to become Duke Luciano Thorne, a war-god holding the empire’s iron legions. Cordelia, blind and alone, defends her last scraps of family in the wolf-like duke’s manor. When her uncle tries to force her to marry a lecherous old merchant, Luciano suddenly appears with a sky-high bride price to ask for her hand.
