The Villain’s Son Is Mine

“XX! I wish I could experience a real romance before I die!”
Twenty years after her family’s downfall due to treason charges fabricated by the Empress,
Arthe finally achieved her long-awaited regression while in prison.
Once rigid and proper, Arthe now wanted to enjoy the good things in life.
Delicious food, luxurious dresses, and even the satisfaction of cursing freely!
But for that… she needed to bring down the hateful Empress.
She needed someone who could add tremendous power and legitimacy to her declining family.
Yet someone naive enough to never misuse that family power.
Marriage to Prince Cardi, the Empress’s only son and a fool, was necessary.
With the book [Practical Guide! The Art of Capturing His Heart!], there was nothing to fear!
“Sniff. Arthe, I hurt my ankle…”
All that remained was to put her plan into action.

“You’re exactly like your mother.”
“You must have thought very little of me, Princess. Did you think I would even blink at this?”
The naive speech, smile, and behavior had vanished without a trace.
What remained was only a cold man desperately trying to survive his own mother.
“To face my mother, you need to be more than that.”
Lies and deception unfold as they trick and are tricked by each other…
Cardi whispered mockingly to Arthe, who trembled like an aspen leaf.
“Smile again. As if you love me. You were doing so well before, weren’t you?”
