My Disfigured Duke Husband Helps Me Plot My Revenge

A powerless woman’s worst nightmare is marrying someone against her will. When those who are supposed to protect her betray her in the vilest of ways, Leonor is forced to marry a Duke known for his cold nature and repulsive appearance. After a miserable childhood, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that her future was never truly in her hands in the first place. Duke Desmond de Montclair was nobody before the war. He garnered the King’s favor by doing the impossible in battle. Unfortunately, any achievement is eclipsed by his appearance and unbearable personality. In a kingdom that idolizes beauty, there is no room for someone like him. At first, Leonor finds life with the Duke to be what she’s used to - walking on eggshells and never speaking what’s truly in her heart. Eventually, things slowly start to change as the Duke learns about the horrors she faced while living with her family. His power becomes the key to her revenge. However, in a moment where she feels cornered, Leonor confesses to the Duke that she’s in love with someone else. The progress she has made with the Duke comes crashing down around her. Will her magic abilities be enough to convince the Duke not to throw her out? If she can make herself useful to him, perhaps she can gain his sympathy somehow…

Reunion

Most daughters of noblemen would have trouble being forced to get ready by themselves. However, Leonor lost her father's favor for years by then, so she could function perfectly fine without a maid. 

Retrieving water and bathing herself was simple, oiling her naturally wavy hair and braiding it half up was her standard hairstyle so she didn't have to fuss, and getting dressed without someone else tying up the dress for her was a piece of cake. All it took was the willingness to lift her finger.

Many noble women couldn't do anything for themselves simply because they didn't want to and Leonor fully believed that truth. They had men taking care of them and didn't need aspirations. 

At times she was envious, but she didn't think she would be at the Academy if it weren't for her tenacity to take the reins of her own life. The Prince kickstarted her attendance and she would do what she could to prove herself capable.
