Rita Oreira, a fun-loving radio host known for her girly gossip, met a tragic end during a home burglary while trying to save her pet parrot.

Surprisingly, she transmigrated into a fantasy novel as Lirian Nightwind, a quirky villainess from an evil family, destined to marry the wicked northern duke, Gabriel Sylcrest, who planned to take over the crown.

In the original story, Lirian was set to betray Gabriel, leading to her own death by his hands.

Fortunately and unfortunately for her, the new Lirian was protected by her two mischievous brothers, who were supposed to die alongside the duke.

Their loyalty complicated her plans to escape the dark fate that awaited them all.

In this new world, she had to scheme and do unspeakable things with the lunatic duke to protect her true identity and prevent anyone from discovering that she was not the real Lirian.

Not only were the tasks out of line, but they were all for pure entertainment rather than any real purpose.

As she accepted her life as his wife, she learned that her parrot, which could only say modern phrases, had special powers that made others believe it could see the future.

If the parrot said, “Slay, b*tch!” Gabriel would kill a person on the spot.

If the parrot said, “Let it cook!” the male lead would banish or imprison the chef, thinking the food was poisoned.

If the parrot said, “Sus, very sus!” Gabriel would tear his advisors apart.

As Lirian tried to change her destiny and save them all, she discovered surprising truths about those around her, especially Gabriel Sylcrest.

Motivated to survive, Rita had to find a way to save them all.

“The crown prince—!!!”

“Say one more word about another man, and I’ll let my beasts tear him apart.”

“You know, my Lord, for a duke who seeks power, you certainly have a way of making a girl feel… vulnerable.”

“Vulnerable? No, my dear. You’re mine, and I’ll make sure everyone knows it. If another man even dares to look at you, I’ll unleash my wrath. I’ll have him begging for mercy, and then I’ll enjoy every moment of his despair.”

“You can’t just claim me like that.”

“Watch me. I’ll mark you as mine in blood and shadow. You’ll be a warning to anyone who thinks they can touch what belongs to me. The moment you’re within my reach, I’ll ensure no one else can ever have you.”

“Is that a threat or a promise?”

“Both, Lirian. And trust me, the line between love and possession is razor-thin. Cross me, and you’ll find out just how deep my darkness runs for you.”

Married To The Villain

The grand hall of Raphael's palace was nothing but fancy.

Lirian was in the center of it all, her chin held high despite the unease gnawing at her.

On her shoulder, Pedro shifted restlessly, squawking every now and then as if already agitated by the confrontation that was about to happen.

Raphael sat on his gilded throne, his posture looked regal but his eyebrows furrowed as he regarded Lirian.

His blazing gaze looked briefly at Pedro before returning to her.

"You requested an audience, Lady Lirian," he said, carefully neutral. "I granted it out of respect for Gabriel, but I hope you don't intend to waste my time."

"Oh, I wouldn't dream of it," Lirian said, a sly smile tugging at her lips. "I'm here to discuss Gabriel's release."

Raphael arched an eyebrow. "Gabriel committed treason by killing the king. I don't think there's much to discuss."

Lirian held up a finger, signaling for patience.
