Villainess Reborn: The Duke’s Cursed Bride

Burned alive at the stake and framed as a traitor, Lady Seraphina Ashthorne watches the people she trusted most—her stepsister, her fiancé, and the royal family—celebrate her death.



But fate gives her a cruel mercy: a second chance.



Seraphina awakens five years earlier, just before her engagement to the charming yet treacherous Crown Prince. This time, she refuses to play the role of the noble pawn.



Instead of chasing love or status, she does the unthinkable—she breaks off the royal engagement and offers herself in marriage to the empire’s most feared man: Duke Lucien Nightbane, a war hero believed to be cursed by death itself.



Their marriage is a political move, not a romantic one. Or so she thinks.



Lucien is cold, guarded, and dangerous—but not heartless. And Seraphina is not the same naive girl he once knew. Together, they uncover long-buried secrets, court conspiracies, and the true source of the curse that binds them both.



With a blend of cold alliances, smoldering tension, and deadly power games, Seraphina will either rewrite her destiny—or burn the empire down with her.
