I Refuse to Be the Convenient Empress

"You shall become the Emperor of this empire."

Those were the words spoken to me by the enigmatic First Prince, Nia.

To protect her father’s territory, Giselle married the second prince, Will. What awaited her, however, was a corrupt imperial family, unrelenting abuse, and the true, purely self-serving nature of her new husband. In the end, framed for embezzlement and standing before the executioner's block, Giselle could only think: “If only I hadn’t taken Will’s hand back then...”

When she opened her eyes, she found herself back in time—at the very banquet where Will had originally proposed to her.

Determined not to repeat the same mistake, Giselle steels her resolve, only for an unexpected figure to appear before her: Nia, the First Prince, who never existed in her previous life. Not only does Nia propose to Giselle on the spot, but he also makes a cryptic proposition: "You are going to become the Emperor."

From a forsaken imperial consort to the sovereign ruler! A dramatic turnaround romantic fantasy!
