Reincarnated as the Villian's Fragile Bride
"In this life, my wedding dress was meant to be my shroud, and the man at the altar, my executioner."
I woke up inside the pages of a tragic novel as Cherise, a minor character destined to be the sacrificial lamb. According to the original plot, my role was simple: marry the "Blood Duke," Galen, and die at his hands on our wedding night to trigger his transformation into the world’s ultimate villain. But as I stand at the altar, looking into Galen’s cold, soul-piercing eyes, I realize I’m not ready to let the curtains close on my life just yet.
To survive, I must play the part of the "Fragile Bride" perfectly. I use my pale skin and trembling hands to stir a protectiveness in Galen that he didn’t know he possessed. However, the palace is a viper’s nest. My rival, Elena, is determined to see me dead, going as far as "gifting" me the cursed Phoenix wedding dress—a garment tied to Galen’s darkest trauma. One wrong move, and the dress won't just be a fashion statement; it will be my shroud.
Now, I am caught in a lethal game of obsession and secrets. Galen is starting to look at me not as a sacrifice, but as a woman he’d burn the world to keep. Can I unravel the mystery of the Fénix and tame the villain’s heart, or will my "fragility" be the very thing that shatters under the weight of his dark love?
