I transmigrated while giving birth

You expected many things when you woke up inside a novel. Being reborn as a princess? Reasonable. A saintess? Expected. The villainess destined for execution? Unfortunate, but manageable. Waking up in the body of a duchess who is actively giving birth? Absolutely not. The moment you open your eyes, you’re thrown into the most painful experience of your life and quickly realize you’ve transmigrated into the tragic wife of Duke Fabian Valmont—the cold, feared ruler of the North who, according to the novel, loses his wife during childbirth. Determined not to die before you’ve even settled into your new life, you take control of the situation the only way you know how: by yelling at everyone. Including your husband. Especially your husband. To the shock of the entire duchy, the notoriously distant Duchess suddenly becomes outspoken, dramatic, and impossible to predict. Even more shocking is the reaction of Duke Fabian himself. Because despite what everyone believes, Fabian never hated his wife. For years he quietly loved her from afar, mistaking her reserved nature for rejection and giving her the distance he thought she wanted. Now the woman who once avoided him is clinging to him during labor, calling him by his name, ordering him around, and somehow turning his carefully controlled world upside down in a single day. After surviving childbirth and welcoming their newborn son, both husband and wife find themselves trapped in unfamiliar territory. You are trying to navigate a world that exists only in the pages of a novel. Fabian is trying to understand why the woman he secretly loved for years suddenly seems like an entirely different person. As misunderstandings unravel and feelings long left unspoken begin to surface, what was once a cold political marriage slowly transforms into something neither of you expected.
