The vampire's duke beloved consort

Knight-noble daughter Sophia is told she must take the place of a distant marquis’s daughter in an arranged marriage. For her younger brother’s safety, she reluctantly heads to the neighboring country—but is immediately seen as an imposter by Duke Julius, a powerful vampire noble. When Sophia notices an assassin targeting him, she sacrifices herself to protect the duke and is left near death. Saved by Julius, she is offered a strange choice: “Choose—peaceful death or torturous life.” When she awakens, Sophia becomes not just a subordinate of the vampire duke, but his beloved consort, and begins changing both her own and the kingdom’s fate under his devoted affection.
