I Became the Tyrant's Dishonest Adviser

One moment, she was an ordinary customer service employee; the next, she had been thrust into the body of Duchess Erina Valois. This sudden transmigration lands her squarely within the pages of a novel she had been reading just the night before. Unfortunately, Erina is far from a celebrated heroine—she is merely a minor side character destined to meet a tragic end at the hands of the ruthless Emperor Cardan Zeon. Thrust into a world of imperial intrigue and impending doom, the newly awakened duchess realizes that survival will require immediate action. To avoid her scripted demise under the reign of a notorious tyrant, she must quickly adapt, compose herself, and navigate the treacherous politics of the court before her fate catches up with her. Every move she makes must be calculated to keep her alive in a story where she was never meant to last. Yet, as she struggles to rewrite her destiny, unexpected complications arise. Despite the emperor’s fearsome reputation and the grim narrative laid out in the original novel, Erina begins to sense an undeniable undercurrent between them. The dynamic she shares with Cardan hints at depths and complexities entirely absent from the pages she once read, suggesting that their intertwined fates may hold far more than a simple execution.
