The day my boyfriend left me for my best friend, I accidentally fell into the Han River.
When I opened my eyes again, I had become Chartiana Altizer Cailon—the infamous villainess daughter of a powerful duke.
“I’ve already chosen my empress, and you’re nothing more than a pawn.”
But I refused to accept that fate. “I will be the empress of this empire.”
My destiny was sealed the moment Regina named me as one of the two candidates for empress—alongside Irene, the crown prince’s beloved.
To shield my family from the ruthless schemes of the imperial court, I had no choice but to embrace the role of the villainess and fight for the throne.
If becoming the antagonist was what it took to protect those I loved, then so be it. I would play the part—and win.
