Losing my boyfriend to my closest friend was devastating, and in my despair, I accidentally tumbled into the Han River. When I regained consciousness, I found myself reborn as Chartiana Altizer Cailon, the notorious villainess daughter of a powerful duke.
The world now sees me as a scheming, heartless noblewoman, but my fate took an unexpected turn when Regina selected me as a candidate for the throne. The Crown Prince already has his chosen empress—Irene, his beloved—while I stand as nothing more than a disposable piece in their political game.
Yet, I refuse to be a mere pawn. To shield my family from the ruthless machinations of the imperial court, I must embrace the role of the villainess and fight for the crown. If becoming the antagonist is the price of ensuring happiness for those I cherish, then so be it.
The path to power is treacherous, but I will rise above the deceit, the betrayals, and the cruelty. I will claim the throne, not for ambition, but for survival. Because in this ruthless world, only the strongest—and the most cunning—prevail.
