Synopsis
The moment Melina drank the poisoned wine handed to her by her husband, she realized the truth.
For a long time, he had been carrying on an affair,
and even the family she trusted had betrayed her.
She had spent her entire life living obediently so she would never be abandoned—
yet in the end, she was an empress loved by no one.
And then—
After crossing the boundary of death and opening her eyes once more,
she found herself reborn as Berta Monmouth, the leader of the underworld organization Temno.
“Now it’s my turn to make them pay.”
But in order to bring down the emperor,
she must join hands with Grand Duke Caster,
a man who had long ago been pushed aside from the line of succession.
“You came to make a deal with me? The great leader of Temno herself?”
“More precisely, I came to propose marriage.”
The grand duke, who had spent every night under threat from assassins sent by the imperial family, naturally regards her with suspicion.
To him, she offers a proposal impossible to refuse…
Melina, who returned from death as the ruler of the underworld—
will she succeed in her revenge?
