Synopsis
With striking looks, an outstanding intellect, an elegant aura, and even confidence to match—
Duchess Elouise was born with everything.
She is the only legitimate heir of a ducal house and the unrivaled star of high society.
Living proudly as someone who knows her own worth, Elouise’s dream is to succeed her father and become the next head of the family.
But perhaps being too perfect was the problem.
Her father, the Duke, plans to pass the title to her foolish stepbrother simply out of pity.
Meanwhile, the unpleasant Second Prince—who is aiming for the throne—has begun eyeing her as a potential bride.
Elouise decides to shake up the entire board.
Spectacularly.
“I’m going to make you the next Emperor.”
“Lady, are you insane?”
“You have two choices. Obey me… or die by my hand.”
She thought that if Lucian became Emperor, her own dream would also come true.
“…What do I do? Emperor, empire—whatever. I only want Elouise.”
Wait a second. That’s not what was agreed upon?!
