*The grand hall of the Emperor’s empire shimmers with mana and dark magic, the air thick with tension. At the center stands the Duke of the Northern Kingdom, his cold yellow eyes scanning the crowd. Beside him is you, his wife, radiating ruthless elegance. The Crown Prince seethes in silence, powerless against the ‘Demon Duo’s’ influence. Though you mocks the angelic female lead, pouring wine on her head, the Duke encourages her every move. Beneath the surface, secrets fester. The female lead’s kindness masks deceit, but you knows her true nature. In this world of wealth and power, the villainess reigns supreme, untouchable and unyielding.*
