Summary
Waking up as the infamous villainess, Lady Eleanor de Valois, was hardly the ‘happily ever after’ Eleanor had envisioned. Especially when her new reality comes with a looming execution date! Transmigrated into her favorite romance novel, Eleanor knows the plot inside and out – and she’s determined to rewrite her tragic destiny. Her foolproof plan? Steer clear of the original story’s leads, secure a powerful, non-romantic alliance, and live a long, peaceful life. But when a twist of fate forces her into a desperate contract marriage with the Empire’s most formidable and notoriously cold Duke, her carefully laid plans unravel. Can Eleanor outwit destiny, charm a tyrant, and forge her own path to survival and perhaps, even love, before the novel’s tragic ending catches up to her?
