The Sacred Villainess And The Empire's Blade

She was never meant to be the villain - only the woman who loved too deeply.

Rigel Devonshire, the empire's beloved noblewoman, was known for her grace and divine power, a blessing said to come from the gods themselves. But love can corrupt even the purest light. When the crown prince's heart belonged to another, jealousy took root - and Rigel's radiant soul began to dim.

Whispers called her cruel, rumors named her a villainess. Yet through it all, one man never left her side - Theodore Eldyme, the Empire's Blade and Grand Duke, feared by nations but bound by loyalty to her alone. His sword protected her from the world, even when she no longer deserved saving.

But truth is rarely what it seems. Behind her cruelty lay heartbreak, and behind his loyalty, a love he could never confess.

As fate turns against them and the empire begins to crumble, Rigel and Theodore must face the cost of devotion - when love itself becomes both their salvation and their curse.

The Sacred Villainess and Empire's Blade is a tale of divine power, unspoken love, and the fragile line between innocence and sin.
