"I never thought my obsession with manga could become my reality... until I woke up in the body of Aphrodite Callista "Cally" Sinclair-the so-called villainess everyone loved to hate.
In the original story, Cally's life was nothing but a stepping stone for Aphrodite Calle, the maid, and the Grand Duke's love story. She was betrayed by the man she trusted, abandoned by fate, and doomed to die tragically, leaving her family heartbroken and powerless. But I'm not her-I'm Athena Rose De Guzman, a soldier from the modern world. And I refuse to die in a fantasy story that isn't mine.
Now, trapped in a world of ballrooms, dukedoms, and political schemes, I have one goal: survive. I may be a villainess by name, but I refuse to live by the script of someone else's story. I'll outwit the Grand Duke, avoid a tragic end, and reclaim my freedom... even if it means exposing the love affair between him and the maid, Aphrodite Calle, to the world.
But surviving isn't simple. The court is a maze of secrets, rivalries, and power plays. Niobe Vantor, the rival noblewoman, has her own ambitions, and Hades Blackthorn-cold, cunning, and dangerous-is always one step away from destroying everything I hold dear.
And then there's Zeus Knox, the crown prince-a tyrant on the battlefield and a storm of a man off it. He's arrogant, intimidating, and infuriating... and somehow, I find myself drawn to him. Not to mention Apollo Montclair, a dashing, powerful duke whose charm, wit, and cunning rival even Zeus himself. Love, loyalty, and deception collide in ways I never expected.
This is my story now. The villainess will live. The rules will change. And maybe, just maybe, I'll rise from the shadows of tragedy to become the crown princess I was never meant to be."
