A Con Artist But That’s Okay

Seizel’s life was a meticulously crafted prison, forced into the role of ‘the most perfect lady in the world’ until she was unjustly branded a murderer. After a decade of misery, her execution loomed—but instead of death, she was granted a second chance. This time, there are no rules. Seizel vows to shed her ‘nice girl’ facade, embrace her inner rebel, and become the empire’s most audacious con artist, ready to outwit and outmaneuver anyone who stands in her way. Her grand plan to swindle the powerful takes an unexpected turn when, in a moment of reluctant charity, she saves the dying Duke Leviaus, ‘The Empire’s Last Guardian.’ She expects a useful pawn, a means to an end for her schemes. Instead, she finds herself entangled in a contract marriage, unintentionally becoming a duchess. But this Duke is no simple mark. He’s infuriatingly courteous, surprisingly clingy, and utterly oblivious to her true intentions—or is he? As Seizel tries to get her ‘money’s worth’ from this peculiar man, she discovers he’s not just a ‘sucker,’ but also unexpectedly… lecherous. Dive into Seizel’s audacious second life and see if she can con her way to freedom, or if the Duke will con his way into her heart! Read chapter 1 now!
