Sweet Revenge Tastes Like Noble Ruin Volume 1

Previously published as Sweet Revenge Tastes Like Noble Ruin Volume 1 by Senari Itsukino.This edition has been substantially rewritten and expanded. Park Sena already knows how this story ends. Unfortunately, she arrives five days too late to stop it. After dying in modern-day Seoul, Sena wakes inside the body of Sylvaire Nocturne—the infamous villainess of an otome game she once knew by heart. The crown prince has already been poisoned. The evidence already points to House Nocturne. And in five days, Sylvaire will stand trial for a crime she did not commit. The original story says this is where the villainess loses everything. Sena decides to let it. If House Nocturne cannot be saved, she will decide what survives the fall. While nobles gather to divide the remains of her family, Sena begins quietly protecting servants, hiding records, tracing falsified correspondence, and following the bureaucratic fingerprints left by people who were certain a condemned woman would never be able to fight back. But the deeper she digs, the less the world resembles the game she remembers. The duke who profited from Nocturne's destruction is dangerous—but he may not be responsible for everything. The original heroine is far more complicated than her scripted role. And the duke's own son, Caedrin Vaeldren, knows enough about his father's empire to either become Sena's greatest liability…or the first person she dares to trust. Sena cannot undo Sylvaire's ruin. She can only make sure the people responsible eventually envy her. They already won. She intends to make that their first mistake. Sweet Revenge Tastes Like Noble Ruin is the first volume of a long-running villainess isekai fantasy featuring political intrigue, calculated revenge, an intelligent female protagonist, institutional scheming, found family, mystery, and a slow-burn romantic subplot.
