~PLOT~
“People who enjoy other people’s stories naturally love stories about tragic love and a villainess who stands in their way.”
Mariel knew this better than anyone. It was a theme she often encountered in the novels she read.
But if she were unjustly labeled a villainess, it would be a different story!
Mariel, who had gone from being an abandoned bride to the worst villainess in the empire overnight.
She didn’t want to be the tragic heroine who shed tears after being falsely accused.
So, she decided to show a “new me” and began to shatter the outdated conventions of aristocratic society.
Meanwhile, one man, watching her every move more closely than anyone else, chuckled to himself.
Richard, the current Emperor of the Vatican Empire, known for his perfectionism and ruthlessness, actively supported Mariel’s efforts.
“A villainess and a tyrant, isn’t that the perfect match? We’re destined.”
