Unshakable Female Lead in Regret Genre

Imagine waking up to discover your life is a cliché – specifically, the kind where you’re the long-suffering heroine of a ‘regret story.’ Giselle Florette, a woman whose previous life honed her resilience through years of demanding service jobs, finds herself in this exact predicament. Currently, she’s enduring the male lead and his family’s escalating cruelty, piling up karmic debt with every insult.

But unlike typical heroines, Giselle isn’t crumbling. ‘They tormented me *this* much?’ she muses, utterly unfazed. Her sharp wit and unshakeable composure turn every slight into an opportunity. When faced with their venom, she doesn’t cower; she weaponizes their words, offering to ‘don a garbage bag and bury myself underground’ if she’s truly so ‘filthy.’ Her resolve is clear: sever ties with her tormentors and forge a path to unparalleled strength.

Just as she plans her escape, the enigmatic Duke Callinos, a man whispered to be a ‘secret mastermind,’ appears with an unexpected proposition: a contract marriage. His terms? Five billion gold annually, in exchange for her ‘most despicable’ behavior to deter his own family from marriage. For Giselle, who finds ‘troublemaking’ the easiest thing in the world, this isn’t a challenge—it’s an opportunity. Will Giselle outwit them all and secure her freedom, or is there more to the Duke’s scheme than meets the eye? Dive into chapter 1 and witness the rise of an unshakable heroine!
