The Yandere Saintess Thinks I’m Her Dead Husband

Scribe Ezra Locke awakens in a new world, trapped in the body of Lord Cassian, the deceased husband of the powerful and dangerously unstable Saintess Seraphina. Convinced Ezra is her miraculously returned love, Seraphina smothers him with obsessive devotion tied to her volatile holy magic. To survive, Ezra must play the part of Cassian, navigating Seraphina's delusions while contending with suspicious allies like Captain Damien. As Ezra uncovers fragments of the real Cassian's life and fears about a dark influence corrupting Seraphina's power, the charade grows increasingly perilous. The breaking point arrives during the disastrous Sun Festival, where Seraphina's magic falters, revealing a terrifying taint and plunging the city into chaos. In the aftermath, Ezra discovers Cassian died investigating a cursed reliquary beneath the Cathedral – the source of the corruption. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Damien, Ezra confronts the ancient darkness, managing to temporarily contain it. The ordeal shatters Seraphina’s delusion, forcing her to confront the truth of Cassian's death and Ezra's identity. Choosing compassion over escape, Ezra stays not as the imposter husband, but as himself, facing an uncertain future alongside the broken Saintess in a relationship redefined by trauma and fragile truth.
