The Splendid Rebellion of the Puppet Villainess
꼭두각시 악녀의 화려한 반란
Rhea Frieze was the imperial family’s puppet villainess. “You think you’re my child? Who on earth told you that?” “I only used you to trample those vermin.” The moment she was betrayed by the emperor she had trusted as her father, Rhea chose to curse him. “…May nothing but ruin await Your Majesty.” She believed she had ended her life. Yet somehow, she returned to the past—seven years earlier. The Carter Grand Ducal House, branded as the imperial family’s greatest enemy. The very family she had ruthlessly destroyed were, in truth, her lost relatives. At the center of it all stood Carlos Carter. “Strange. I don’t recall inviting a rat from the imperial palace.” “I came to make a deal. You’re going to need me.” Using her special ability, Rhea plans to restore the Carter family’s power, bring down the imperial house, and quietly disappear afterward… But— “Didn’t you ask for protection? The moment you stepped into my castle, Princess, you became my ward. I have a duty to protect you.” “Father, why not just register her into our family? Who cares about the imperial house?” “You heard him. Stop talking nonsense and finish your pudding, Princess.” The family who once despised her now strangely shields her. And Carlos Carter— “I told you, Rhea. I find you very interesting.” “That’s a pleasant thing to hear.” “Just say the word. Revenge or happiness—I’ll place it all before you.” “……” “If you want, even the emperor’s head.” It seems she has even turned the most dangerous man to her side. …In this life, can Rhea Frieze take revenge on the emperor and reclaim her true family?
