"I've already chosen my empress — you're just here to fill a seat." "No. I'm going to be the empress of this empire." The day her closest friend steals her boyfriend, she stumbles and falls into the Han River — and wakes up as Shartianna Altize Kailon, a duchess notorious for being the villainess of the realm. As it turns out, Shartianna was infamous for trying to snatch the crown prince away from his lover. She swears she'll never become that kind of villain… but the moment she's selected as a "Regina" candidate for the next empress, her fate is sealed. There are two candidates: herself and the crown prince's beloved, Irene. To protect the family she loves amid the plotting and schemes of court, she has no choice but to embrace the role of ruthless villainess and fight for the throne. Yet just as she resigns herself to this new reality, the cold and distant Crown Prince Leopfried begins to show her a different side of himself — and a hidden secret lurking in his relationship with Irene comes to light. To find happiness with the people she loves, she becomes the greatest villainess of the age. A bold new take on the palace romance!
