Villainess for the Devil [SAMPLE]

In the year 675th of the imperial calendar, the empress, known for her brawn and wits, died at the hands of her beloved emperor. However, she awoke ten years prior to her death and in the body of Marsella Ross.

Marsella Ross. A good-for-nothing bastard child of Marquess Ross. Lived in the outskirt of the capital with only her nanny, the empress, now in this body and had this identity as Marsella swore to live peacefully - away from the bloody path she had taken, away from the power struggle.

But is living peacefully possible when reality slapped her with the news of her sudden engagement with the Grand Duke?

The Grand Duke of Esmond, Luis Deviltooth Deamonne. A maniacal tyrant. Rumors have it bloodshed followed him like a shadow. He would murder nobles on a whim, and was said to have a heart as frigid as the cold north.

With a marriage plotted by the emperor to keep him under control, many assumed Marsella and Luis' will disavow their engagement. But alas, it had the complete opposite effect to them. They looked forward to it.

A villainess for the devil.
