Lihen Copland lived a life of quiet resignation, trapped in a loveless marriage with a cold husband and a cruel mother-in-law. Her only source of joy was her daughter, who once made a tearful request: if Lihen were ever born again, she should choose a different husband and confess to her first love, even if it meant her daughter would never exist. When a carriage accident cuts Lihen's life short, she miraculously awakens in the past as a nineteen-year-old, gifted with a second chance she never expected.
Despite her daughter’s wish for her happiness, Lihen’s maternal love outweighs her desire for a better romance. She resolves to repeat her miserable past solely to give birth to her precious child once more. But fate has other plans. As she navigates her youth again, she encounters Schderl Laft, the man her daughter urged her to choose. Charming, kind, and clearly interested, Schderl offers a glimpse of the sparkling life Lihen denied herself.
My Dear Aster is a poignant romance fantasy that explores the depths of a mother's sacrifice and the complexity of second chances. As Lihen wavers between the comfort of her first love and the necessity of her unhappy marriage, she begins to uncover secrets about the time reversal itself. Will she honor her daughter's wish to live for herself, or will her devotion lead her back into the cage she just escaped?
