Shuri is afraid of carriages.
She tries to hide it, to make it unnoticeable. But her breath catches with every bump in the road.
One day their carriage lurched to a halt after a particularly bad storm- a wheel stuck in the mud- and Shuri's hands shook, and shook, and shook. Her face white as a sheet.
Jeremy notices these things now, but he didn't always. He doesn't know whether this fear is new, or if he never looked.
He never will know. When he asks Shuli, she just smiles with eyes far too old for someone their age. It makes him uneasy for reasons he can't explain.
It doesn't matter in the end. It's just another oddity to watch for, one of several. Honestly, compared to everything else it's the least concerning. There are dozens of reasons why someone might dislike carriage rides.
It's probably nothing.
Jeremy keeps watching anyway.

Name: Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion
Release Date: April 2023
Summary: When Park Eunha dies in modern-day Korea, she awakens in the body of Raeliana McMillan, the eldest daughter of a nouveaux riche baron. However, this is no ordinary world; it's the exact same one as a novel she once read. Beloved by her family, it would seem as though she is in a fairy tale. But Raeliana is far from the main character—she is a mere plot device, whose murder at the hands of her fiancé instigates the entire story.
Raeliana has no intention to accept her fate quietly. She sets her eyes on someone in a position of great power—the vieux riche male protagonist Duke Noah Volstaire Wynknight—aiming to completely change the original story. Using her knowledge of future events, Raeliana offers information to Noah on the condition that he acts as her fake fiancé, but the Duke's two-faced nature throws a wrench in her plans!

Notes: While it is being released by Yen Press it wasn’t officially announced like the other six on top of this manhwa. However, since it is still in the website and even has a release date I will be placing it here. It’s slightly weird that it wasn’t announced but since the first volume is meant for 2023 while the other manhwas by Yen Press are meant for 2022 it might be officially announced later.
