The Villainess's Karma System: Plundering Protagonists' Luc
"Sophia, help me achieve my grand design for the Empire; and within a year, I shall make you the premier lady of the realm."
"If vengeance requires the burning of a soul, then let the fire start from the Imperial Throne."
Sophia Stuart was once the empire’s most pathetic laughingstock. As the exiled daughter of the North, she knelt upon every cobblestone of the Capital in the pouring rain, pleading for a hollow engagement and the scraps of her family’s affection. In return, she received only her father’s cold indifference, a vial of poison from her fiancé, the Second Prince, and the agonizing screams of the Stuart house being slaughtered.When the guillotine’s blade finally fell, Sophia didn't wake up in heaven. She opened her eyes in a chilling void, greeted by a mechanical, freezing voice echoing in her mind:"Extreme hatred detected. Vengeance System initialized. Cost: Your Vitality."Reborn at the ultimate turning point of her fate, Sophia is no longer the fragile girl craving love. She has signed a pact with a devil, trading her remaining lifespan for the power to dismantle an empire. This time, she shears her long, encumbering hair, dons blood-stained tactical boots, and personally shreds the marriage contract that once led to her death."I don't need your love. I want you to tremble at the very breath of winter."This is a high-stakes gamble against time. Every calculation burns away her days; every victory shortens her countdown to the grave. But before the clock strikes zero, she will drag the Second Prince into the abyss, pile the heads of traitors into a staircase to the throne, and force the empire that once looked down on the North to crawl at her feet.On this blood-soaked path of retribution, the legendary and ruthless Archduke Klaus—a man who toys with power as if it were a lethal instrument—becomes her only accomplice in this macabre dance.When the Villainess stops looking back, the world shall shudder at her awakening.
