Reborn as the Villain’s Secret Wife

In her first life, Elira Vexley was the perfect noble daughter—obedient, kind, and hopelessly in love. But love was her downfall. Betrayed by her fiancé and best friend, falsely accused of treason, and executed without mercy, she died full of regret and rage. Yet death was not the end. Reborn in the body of a mysterious noblewoman engaged to the coldest man in the empire—Duke Kael Dravencourt, a man feared as a villain, a murderer, and a monster—Elira is given a second chance. Everyone fears Kael. Everyone believes he killed his own family to claim power. But Elira sees something else behind those ice-cold eyes—pain, secrets, and a soul darker than night yet aching for light. Now forced into a political marriage, Elira hides her past while unraveling Kael’s. She plays her role as the perfect duchess, but behind her mask lies a sharp mind and a burning desire for answers. The court is dangerous. The lies are endless. And the villain she married… may be the only one she can trust. Two broken souls. One twisted fate. A love neither of them wanted—but both may come to need. Will love bloom in a garden of secrets, or will the past tear them apart once more?
